I travel M-Th, and do Alt travel every month once. I also travel Sunday night. I am starting to see diminishing returns of even having a house. Pay rent for whole month just for 9 nights. Thoughts?

Honestly
My second year out of UG, I was the same way. Put my stuff in a storage unit, and lived out of a suitcase for a year and I loved it
A) saved a lot (easily 30k factoring everything in).
B)it forced me to explore new places

I was fortunate enough to let my parents use their address for mail, otherwise I would have to set up a PO Box.

It’s fun for a while, but after a while, even for only 10 days a month, having a place to call home, is worth the cost

How often is alt travel allowed?

Most firms allow you to do it every week, but it depends on the project sometimes too

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
