One of my friends recently moved to another state because her husband got a new job there. She hasn’t found a new job there yet, so her current company is allowing her to work remotely for them. Working from home is great in some ways- you set your own hours, you don’t have to leave the house and deal with a commute, and you honestly have much more free time. However, it is MUCH easier to get distracted, get behind, and spend your evenings and weekends playing catch up. Check out this post by Ieva at therandomp blog for the pros and cons of working remotely, and decide whether or not it’s right for you:
Con- you can feel misinformed, out of the loop, and miss out on communications if you are not diligent.
Con- there is less contact with coworkers and clients- you can’t judge reactions by body language.
Pro- you can do things whenever you want.
Pro- way more independence and freedom
Con- hard to organize other people and projects from far away.
