Not really. I'm glad I get to see my daughter grow up while working at home, but it's so much more than that. I don't have to deal with office politics or anything like that. Last office I worked at had a somewhat dress code, I'm glad I can now wear shorts. There is no impromptu meetings, and no annoying coworker stopping by my office at horrible times. I set my own schedule around when I'm most productive. I've worked at home for 4 years now and wouldn't go back to an office job without at least a $20k raise.
- csomar 13y ago* Not really. I'm glad I get to see my daughter grow up while working at home * Have you tried working with home without a family? I'm getting good gigs but they are all remote. It's has been a rough time since I socialize really little.
- dgabriel 13y agoAre there any co-working spaces near you?
- enjo 13y agoCo-working is an absolute godsend for remote work. It's like an office, but better! You can pop-in and out without the pressure that your actual coworkers put on you to be visible during "office hours". Even if you only spend an hour or two a day at your co-working desk, being able to get out and interact with humans (on your terms) is an amazing thing.
- csomar 13y agoNo. There is no night life either.
- bnycum 13y agoYep, my daughter is only 2 and my wife worked before she was born. So for 2 years I worked at home alone, though I have 2 dogs. It was weird being alone all day, but I got so much more accomplished. Getting out for lunch helped me a lot, and taking my dogs out. Even just a stroll around the block can help a ton.
