Any advice for someone about to start a new role remotely and how to deal with the long hours? My new role is going to be more demanding and was wondering how some of you deal with the continual late nights.

Tbh, I’m single and there’s not much going on in my life M-Th, due to covid. So work and “life” blend together.

It’s easier to work long hours from home in my opinion. I always found it harder to stay in the office past midnight. You can take a break when it gets overwhelming and go for a quick walk around the block to clear your head. I also tend to get changed to my comfy clothes, shower and put my hair in a bun (I’m a woman with a long hair) around 8pm so then when I’m done working later that evening I can literally just go to bed.

I did the IB grind for 5 years. Without coffee. It can be done. You have to be extremely motivated, take care of your health with exercise and good eating habits and, perhaps most of all, a lot of loud late night hip hop to stay awake.

Agree work As1, long hours at home are easier than in the office. I think the bigger issue is getting up to speed and communication with the team / politics while WFH — all of which would require a little more proactivity on your end given not physically there.

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?
