I worked for a uk agency. Got promoted twice. Team I ended up running and I made some concession. I started at 630 everyday. Depending on time of year, we always had 5 or 6bhrs of mutual availability.

All hands on deck situations pretty much functioned like everywhere else... Everyone on at weird hours

If you have the visa requirements and everything and are based in the U.S… do it. Just be mindful of the time zones you’ll be working across. Can take a toll on your sleep schedule and/or personal life.

Do you have to match the home country’s time zone? I had a coworker who moved back to the UK during Covid lockdowns but kept her job and she just worked slightly time shifted hours (for her) basically. Started earlier than us and finished by early afternoon, and we just knew she wouldn’t be around later unless we needed her and messaged her about something.

I Will probably have to match, but Im ok with that. I already work East Coast hours on the West coast

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
