It's hard for an outsider to tell what the right answer is, so a few basic questions you would need to answer are:
Is there a culture of working offsite at the company? Are there other people doing this in your department? Does your job involve interaction with others, and is this interaction mission critical in the eyes of your employer? Are you a really a self starter and is the nature of your work that of a Lone Ranger? Is your employer really pleased with your work? And are you ready to get a new job if this isn't the case?
Also is the person who interviewed you who said this someone that you are working for now? And was it put in writing? Or was it something just said?
- sergiotapia 14y agoNo other employees work offsite, except our lone lawyer who comes in every 3 weeks give or take. Nobody in my department (Tech) works offsite either. The company I work for is not a software company, rather it's an education company that needs some custom software built every couple of weeks. Basically I meet with the bigwigs every 7 to 10 days and plan out new features. It's a REALLY laid back job, that's why I would like to work from home. They are very pleased with my work as I'm a self'starter and have already saved the company a lot of money due to my diligence. The person who interviewed me in the Number 2 of the company, and he's my direct 'handler'.
- michaelpinto 14y agoFeel out the Number 2 person, and maybe start off with a day or two at home and have a real proposal in hand. What's going against you is that there isn't a culture of this at your company so you're going into unknown territory.
