I did the “virtually working together” thing with one of my co-workers who’s also my best friend, but that was towards the beginning of COVID when we were all still trying to get used to WFH. Fast forward 2 years later, all I want to do now is work out of bed and never have to turn on my camera. 🙈🙈🙈

I find having a designated office space alone is helpful- I know it's hard to do if you don't have enough space, but I can't work with any sound and I have a proper desk, 2 screens, and an office chair. Makes it feel official, whereas when I worked from the cough or bed, I'd lose focus a lot...

How many emails and/or Slack messages do you receive and respond to on a typical day? My employer wants everything answered within 24 hours but in reality responses need to be made almost immediately. This makes getting back on task and being productive almost impossible when there are constant interruptions. Any advice on this or asking for accommodations? I think my best option is to change jobs.

Imagine you're looking for a remote job at a large company with a sophisticated marketing function, strong manager, and room for growth. Making good traction, but then you're contacted by a company in a niche that FASCINATES you...like you read books about this subject for fun, you'd probably love this job. It's remote, the salary is good, the manager is nice, but you'd be the most senior marketing person; the company is about 200 people. What would you do?

Hi,

I am joining Citi next week and the team I’m assigned I heard has very hectic schedule and strict 3 days wfo and today I got a selection email from another company who are offering permanent WFH , due to certain internal approvals , the offer could be shared only next Wednesday, As I’m more inclined towards the latter.
