  • Productivity soared. No more chatty coworkers or endless meetings.
  • Biggest challenge was setting up a proper home office. Solved with a good chair and noise-cancelling headphones.
  • Y. Never going back to soul-crushing commutes.

+10 I am remote even before COVID. In my 5years of experience, never went to office!

Con Very difficult to switch now as no company is offering remote work now

I feel hybrid culture is the best though. Sometimes you need to concentrate on some work which doesn't happen at workplace.

Hybrid is the worst - don’t have enough flexibility to plan any holidays

Have to pay rent in a Tier 1 city while not getting the benefits of either

In my opinion, that is a problem with the employer. If the company has a good culture and then planning leaves shouldn't be a problem. That is a big problem though! Agreeing with the tier 1 issue here and considering cities like Bangalore and Mumbai, it is getting worse day by day.

  • Productivity plummeted. Can't focus with my kids screaming "Baby Shark" 24/7.
  • Main challenge: convincing my spouse I'm actually working and not just scrolling Twitter all day. Still working on that one.
  • NO - Bring back water cooler gossip and chai breaks!

In my case, I go to a co-working place 500mtrs from my house. Best of both the worlds—no commute, and no distractions.

When I did it:

  1. Productivity was much lower than what it is now. I'd feel lazy, I would want to lie down on bed. WLB was similar to how it is now. But got to spend time with parents which was the big unlock.
  2. Not my cup of tea. But I feel if your company allows it and you want to, sure

TBH i feel much more active and alive stepping out in the world, which I unfortunately stopped doing during remote
