In a remote role, when did you begin feeling comfortable about traveling to take workcations?

I'm starting a 10-week internship with a boutique consulting firm and was wondering when a few days of working out of a friend's place in another US city would be a good idea, maybe after the first month of getting used to the company and its work?

Just keep in mind that working remotely from locations other than your home state can have tax implications for both you and the company you work for.

I've never really thought about timeline, I've always just done it when it feels right. I think a month is probably sufficient. Once you get a good feeling for how the company operates, you should be free to travel without issue.

As long as you maintain a professional presence, there's no timeline.

I'd personally not want my first day to be while I'm traveling because it's more difficult to control variables (like hotel fire alarms during an important call), but beyond that, I don't even tell people when I'm traveling.

Just do good work and maintain a professional presence. You'll be fine.

If you need to be online during work hours, make sure you pick a location with great wifi. Hotel wifi is unreliable unless they offer upgraded options.

Also, did you provide your employer with your ip address? If so, they know your location.

It’s looking like my job is gonna start asking us to return to the office. We have an open office plan and before we wfh FT I would save all my work for my telework days bc I can’t get shit done in the office. I’m having major anxiety about them making this decision. I know I’m not alone that people don’t want to return to the office. My ADHD and the open office just makes working from the office a nightmare and I’m feeling really nervous and kind of resentful.

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?
