Remote job in Non-Indian Company

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 😁

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.

Bachelors or spinsters, there is zero value add in living in a metro unless you are forced to come to office, if you are self motivated. Live with your parents, enjoy the kindness and home food.

I’d love to back to my tier 4 rustic village in south India, but the area is too mountainous. Internet will be spotty and electricity might be highly unreliable.

Due to that, I stick to Delhi. Besides, I think this city has grown on my over the years. Except for the pollution.

I'd say find people in non metro who are also working remotely and plan co-working with them. Also, instead of moving to a metro, you can plan some regular workations and explore places if you like travel.

Or try working from metros only for a couple of weeks and see if you enjoy that first rather than completely moving in just because the idea of it seems good. Blr, Delhi, Gurgaon, Mumbai all have decent number of hostels or co-living for you to spend some time there.

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 :)

I am in a very similar position. I work for a completely remote company based out of Singapore with no office in India.

I have been living in my homevillage. I am about to complete 1 year. Although I like the comfort of home, living close to parents, home food, but now it bored, too much monotonous. And since I stayed in other cities for my studies so no friends here, no one knows me in my village and I don't know anyone, I rarely step out of my house. And this is very bad.

That's why I am planning to go on a workation this month, will come back when I am tired. Maybe you can also stay at home, save money, and then go on workations whenever you get bored.

OP - What is this startup? Context - looking for remote roles.
