I have a great opportunity on the table that’s currently work remote with the end goal of returning to the office 1-2 times a week when it’s safe. However, after the past couple months, I don’t see myself returning to live in the big city. Has anyone requested to work fully/mostly remote with a new offer? How did it go? How did you request it so it seems beneficial? Thanks 🙏🏼

yes, I did! I’ve started remote working before covid. In October 2019. I work for a NY office and don’t have to show up on a weekly basis. With all this freedom, I’ve started to travel the world while working full-time remote. It’s been great, and I’m way happier and productive.

it wasn’t that hard because at the the time, I was working with them for more than 2 years, so my manager really trusted me. She saw I wasn’t fully happy and knew I had potential to deliver better work, so she said yes, almost as giving me “chance” to be happier. And it worked!
I plan my trips by myself, but there is a company called “Remote Year” that once you pay them, they help you to build a case for the company to accept your remote life, and they plan the whole year for you - they also find a place for you to stay all over the world. Some people from my company hired this company. The reason why I didn’t was because it was too expensive and I could manage to do everything myself!

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
