What are some raw truths from those who are currently working remotely? Would be really helpful to make an informed decision.

I am currently working in this format . Although it is good money , no PF or health insurance is the only downside I see . You need to have some kind of regimen set otherwise there can be a lot of distractions working from home . I have setup my space where I work from . Initially had not done this but saw that it affected my productivity. Gives lot of flexibility in terms of personal life . Sometimes you get pinged in the evening outside your working hours which can be frustrating. Also there is possiblity to become complacent in terms of career as you are close to family and not that much in touch with colleagues. If someone has left you would never know . If you don’t have family to support you it can become lonely especially for bachelors. If you remote work environment is not good , it can be worse than working from office . I have heard a few horror stories as well .

Thanks! Agree with the PF and health insurance part. As for the work environment, I think luck also plays a major role irrespective of where you work.

Remote job in Non-Indian Company

Question to bachelors working in a remote job from a metro like Bangalore, Delhi or Mumbai and not living with parents. How do you deal with not having people around you ? Does it get lonely sometime ? How do you manage your day and schedule around work in general ? Context :- I've got a job offer from an Indonesia based startup and they don't have an office in India. I've never worked a remote job, except COVID and I don't know if I should work from the metro or go back home? Benefits of Metro : You get to be around people who work similar jobs. Benefits of home : You save money and life is a little peaceful there.

Why do these global companies doesn't provide remote options for India?

I've seen so many job descriptions. Most of these global companies who have offices everywhere in the world; they give an option to work remotely for almost all countries except India. Take this company for example. They have remote options on every location. However, in India they want 3 days per week mandatory hybrid. Why is that? Why can't they provide remote for India branches too? Or make every other location as onsite/hybrid.
