Interviewing for a fully remote role after 3 years in a traditional newsroom. Even my current hybrid setup leaves me feeling disconnected on home days. How do you build relationships with sources and colleagues virtually?

I’ve found that video calls go a long way. It’s not the same as coffee in person, but seeing someone’s face helps build trust that emails alone don’t.

I get that. Remote is convenient, but it can feel isolating. I’d be upfront with colleagues and schedule casual check-ins, not just work calls. With sources, I lean on video and quick messages to keep things warm. How do you usually connect now?

I work remotely, but also with a team who are based in a completely different time zone to me so I find daily calls to keep that connection and conversation going is super important

Does anyone here work for any public accounting firms in the Charlotte area with a decent work life balance?

I find it much less stressful to put in longer hours if it's a client that I have been scheduled on long term.
