it’s good for money, but it’s tough to be remote when everyone is in person

id love to see an agency make it work that you’re not held back from opportunities while wfh. it’s easy to be overlooked when you’re not right in front of some folk in leadership :/

i hope it works out for you! just something to keep in mind depending where you’re at in your career

I’ve seen remote employees make it work well for their career. The successful ones tend to do things like more than what they were hired for, being on camera even when others aren’t (like WFH days for the agency), having a positive attitude even when others don’t, some have flown to the office here and there, etc.

Depends on the agency. Pay bands are usually based on your home address.

In my experience, no. Remote workers get paid national average is what I was told at my last agency regardless where you live

It has become quite the burden.
