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.

Similar situation - My company is in AU with no office in India and have been in this job for about 1.5 years so I feel I am qualified to answer this. 1) I live with my parents who are pretty chill people to be with but at the end of the day you’ll definitely feel it monotonous. I would suggest you to take them out for outings or dates and treat them well because some parents are great and they deserve it.
2) Yes, absolutely. There are only some things you can talk about with your parents. There is next to no drama you get from remote workplaces so you’ll definitely feel super lonely and feel for some companionship but I have accustomed myself to be comfortable in my own skin to be lonely so I guess that’s something you will need to work around.
3) My work starts early around at 7AM and ends at 3-4PM. I then try to engage myself by playing my guitar, getting a powernap, or my Playstation sometimes comes to my help too :)

Personally, I feel metros give an exposure to be around people with similar mindset, help you grow as a person (living on your own), have more options of going out, involve in different activities of your interest and making new friends (compared to a tier2). Home gives you comfort but having lived in that comfort for too long, I have realized it's more rewarding to be in a little discomfort and explore the world 😁

hahahah

very true... remote work is good

work from home gets monotonous after a while
so better to move around incase if you aren't going back to offices

If you’re on terms with your parents then sure go home.

Lonely sometimes, but gym and going on dates breaks that cycle.

Living in metro with partner or alone is much better as you get to meet people, go out have fun at new places, try different sports like swimming kayaking and all.

Moreover the biggest con is parents interfere way too much in personal lives and dating , having friends, drinking or partying is frowned upon. Idk but that doesn’t work for me personally.

Really depends on the type of person you are, your relationship with your family and your goals in life

I work a remote job and stay with my parents and I wouldn't leave if you paid me. If come to realise having people around me is important for my mental health, I tend to spiral and become a recluse I'm also on excellent terms with my family, I love them and there's one thing I learnt from covid, at the end of the day, I won't be thinking, oh I wish I'd gotten more exposure or oh I wish I had developed more skills, I'd be thinking, I wish I'd spent more time with my loved ones, cause that's the kind of person I am

This depends on how good is your relationship with your parents. Mine was toxic, so I moved out. I live in the same city tho but with a couple of friends from college, so it's never lonely :)
