Ask HN: Longterm Remote Work Perspective
I expect companies to be even more open to remote work in 2021 and beyond.
Personally, I am evaluating if I want to take the plunge, buy a house somewhere nice, but not a major hub and focus on quality of life. I have 3 kids under the age of 10 and it's a big factor for me going forward. Do I really want to spend 2 hours each day commuting?
I have done short stints of remote work in my 15 year career - six months, eighteen months and currently in a six month stint which I expect to stretch to a year at least.
Am curious to see how things have evolved for folks who have been doing this for a while.
- Has there been an increase in remote opportunities?
- Career progression
- Small vs Medium vs Large companies?
- Mental Health
- Work/Life/Family balance
