I am about to transfer from a role where I had to be in the factory every day to manage a production line to a hybrid role where I have the option to work remote for part of the week. For those who have mastered working from home, what recommendations do you have for someone new to WFH?

Have a dedicated office space in your home where you are free from noises and bother. Get a commercial grade office chair and proper desk with extra monitors if you need it. White noise machine if people are home and creating extra noise.

Thank you for the advice!

Schedule breaks and lunches on your calendar. People think "working from home" means "ALWAYS working while at home." There's this unrealistic expectation that 9-5 is now "when you wake up to when you go to bed" simply because of WFH. Set those boundaries!

Yep this is my life. International calls start at 4am, stateside calls run 9-5, and more international calls bookend the night. I hate my work life

You gonna love it.
Post Covid I had some concerns If I am able to wfh.
After 2+ years working full remote (visited the office only 2-3 times the whole period) I would say it’s amazing. Needless to say i earn 2 hours/day to/from work, avoiding traffic jam etc.
But, in order to be as much productive as possible you will need a dedicated room to be your home office + a fully ergonomic workspace (table/chair). My personal preference is to also have 2 big monitors, but that’s vary based on each job.

Thanks, I already have a 49” super-ultawide monitor that I love for my personal use!

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.

Looking for some advice on a couple of offers I have.

The first offer is for an Account Executive position at a smaller company with a base of $50k and another $20k in OTE.

The second offer is for a BDR position at a larger and faster growing company with a base of $60k and another $20k in OTE. Also some stock options but they aren’t public yet.

I have 2 YOE as a BDR and think I could succeed in either position. Both have hybrid work set ups. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated! Thanks.
