As an IT consultant, I much prefer working remotely.
My home office is much better organised and comfortable than any office, there's no commute and fast less distraction. I'm also able to work more flexibly and am more productive.
@darya_antonyuk I find it very easy. Either in a client office or at home, the work doesn't change. In offices there is far more distraction and disruption - from idle chit-chat, requests/expectations to go for coffee/lunch/dinner (before COVID I would spend a lot of time away from home, 3-4 days a week in hotels and client offices).
I have a home office with 3 monitors, a good chair (Herman Miller), plenty of space, quiet, etc. I have a lot of calls over Microsoft Teams, with screen sharing - this works well and is far less disruptive and wastes less time than having to book or find meeting rooms at client sites.
@darya_antonyuk honestly I don’t see the cosiness. There’s just pressing work that needs to be done. That drives me to work harder at home
Office is actually more distracting. Chit chatting, coffee breaks, commute traffic and lots more
Remotester for life! I can't get enough of it! Though I guess I'm cheating as my co-founder also is my life partner, so we do our work in the same place 😄🏠
@darya_antonyuk Having the freedom to choose my environment, manage my work-life balance, and find time to connect with nature can help lower stress levels. :))
