Contemplating a really interesting industry offer with amazing comp, great company, and very interesting role - however it’s 100% remote and that scares me. Thoughts on what to do?

Well you need to consider if it’s a role that offers growth, what is the career path?

Working remote is really dependent on you! Can you be committed and disciplined working remotely? Are you able to effectively remain connected and communicate with others as needed? What video conferencing capabilities do they provide? Are there opportunities for occasional on-site work? Is everyone remote or just you?

Lots of questions to be asked, but the key is your ability to work independently

Same here, in a friggin heartbeat. Human interaction is overrated.

@D2 - I’m with ya! I just tossed out questions for OP to consider. Years ago I had a situation where I needed to work from home and developed the discipline to stay focused and get the work done without screwing around. That was one of the most productive 8 months of my career. No open floor plan, no unnecessary interruptions.....

Shit that’s the dream
