Anyone live in El Dorado Hills & Folsom Lake (Sacramento suburbs) and work hybrid in the Bay Area peninsula? What do you think of the area? How's the commute? How are the schools? Amenities? Weather? Crime? Diversity? Food options? Gyms?

I'm remote but spouse is hybrid (but flexible for any 2 days a week) and we are considering the area. Other option is to stay where we are in the Dublin / San Ramon suburbs in East Bay.

Any and all thoughts appreciated.

Sacramento is really really far from the peninsula. It would be a three to four hour commute each way.

It's fine there, not metropolitan or cosmopolitan in any way, shape or form. It's also going to be really hot. On the plus side, you're close to Tahoe in the winter.

How do digital nomads work from anywhere? After two years of this whole WFH thing, I realize that I need a proper routine, an actual WFH setup with a second monitor, a ring light, a suitable desk, an ergonomic chair, stationery, etc.

Don't get me wrong, I love the flexibility of remote work, and I'm not sure I will ever go back to 5 days a week in an office (or even one day a week, for that matter.) But, how do digital nomads adapt by packing up and going so frequently between places?

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
