Remote work - the nitty-gritty.
So I'm a trainee rn and have been thinking of making a switch (later, not immediately). I'm really drawn to the prospects remote jobs offer. But there's gotta be some fine print. I mean it can't be the exactly the rosy picture techbros paint all the time.
So I want to know the stuff nobody really talks about in detail. Like how are you taxed : are there bands, etc. How is the work life balance like? Does working remotely full-time with people from all around the world feel the same as working in a multicultural office? Is it sustainable over a long period of time?
All of your opinions are appreciated :)
If you're a trainee, I wouldn't recommend WFH at all. There are so many things you learn in the office that will help you later that won't be possible in WFH. You learn how to get work done, how to interact with people professionally, make connections, communicate better, control your anger, etc. This is all you don't learn in college.
I'd suggest going for a company with WFO and then eventually after 2-3 years, if you feel, you can switch to WFH. Asynchronous communication is not easy and you won't learn that much.
That makes sense. Thanks!
Edit : I'm talking about living in India and working for a company in the US for example.
Don’t work in other timezone when you are starting your career, it’s frustrating sometimes.
I’ve 4+ years of remote experience only.
You can work for close timezone company where they are active not like just do your work and get paid.
Do you work for indian organization or us(office located in us/fully remote)?
