Related to the office design post below - has anyone pursued or achieved 100% remote work? Seems like an introvert’s dream but wondering if it might get lonely too

I was on a mostly remote project - on-site about one week every 6-8 weeks and loved it. Never got lonely working from home - had more than enough 1:1 phone calls and group conference calls to satisfy my human interaction needs.

My current role is 100% remote. I am more family oriented so my family tends to be in and out of my house during the day. It def does not make me feel lonely

Nice! What types of roles are you in? I want to be fully remote. I’m about 40% remote right now, but it’s hard because I’m super client facing in T&O. Even thinking about learning to code and doing a more technical role to guarantee that I will be remote only.

Nothing “guarantees” remote only.

If I stay in consulting, that’s true, but that’s not my plan

What are peoples opinions on work from home? It seems to be an unpopular opinion but as a junior I despise it. I work 3 feet from my bed, I find the barriers of a phone/email between me and a senior to add a huge amount of stress to my life and I think it’s stunting my career development at my firm because I can’t build relationships as effectively. I’ve never at all had mental health issues before but now am really starting to feel burnt out and anxious most of the time. What do you think?

Hi all, if you’re a mid or senior copywriter in LA looking to join an advertising/entertainment/tech startup on the ground floor, give a shout. You’ll be writing everything from ads featuring celebrities to blog posts, videos, ads for our platform, and probably a few hundred other things. You’ll also work with our parent company, a premier Hollywood production/management company. The role is partially remote (come for key meetings and brainstorms but work remote other days). HMU for more info!

Could you please be so kind as to help me decide which one to choose?

There are lot of mixed reviews about Nagarro.. some folks are saying Nagarro do not fire even in covid the only did the pay cuts and did not fire anyone... where as some folks are saying Nagarro is hiring rigorously more than their projects strength so firing will happen for sure and if you are on bench for more than 1 month you are in red zone as the same happened in past... what is the mystery.. can anyone from Nagarro an honest review about this organization.
