I just took a fully remote job offer at 2 YOE. Planning to live with my parents. My room is tiny, but I’ll be able to save a bit for a future potential MBA or for FIRE. Also hoping to travel using Airbnb month long stays domestically and internationally (if the company is okay with it). Anyone else doing something similar?

25M moved back home with my parents fully remote. Been able to get into a different league with saving and investing and have also taken a couple international vacations where i didn’t need to take days off. This new world has its perks

Did this over a year ago and so far I’ve been to 25ish states. Spent two months in Hawaii when it was dirt cheap. NW is up by over 100K as well. It does wear on you tho, lack of routine and independence at times. I could see myself doing this a few more months. True about watching out about taxes.

Have thought about this! Can I DM you?

For sure!

Working on convincing my team to allow me to stay fully remote. Not living with parents though but rather buying a home to build equity (living situation with other family members isn’t really doable for me anyway).

Sounds smart!! Get that equity

Please be careful about the international part… you do want to notify your workplace because it can have some interesting tax implications for you and your employer.

It varies from country to country and even some states as well if traveling domestically. It’s common for traveling consultants to have multiple state tax returns so you want to visit their tax websites and plan accordingly.

I’m working a Principal TPM for a FinTech firm offering digital payments platform. I have 10+ YOE and recently got MBA. One of my focus areas in MBA was business analytics where i learnt ML and NLP using R. Now, I’ll go for PMP next and thinking to pick up Google Cloud and go down Architect route. I have used AWS in the past but don’t want to pursue it further as it has grown a lot and will take me years to learn. Also, Competition! What do you folks think? What would you recommend otherwise?
