Strongly prefer working in-person (I’m a people person) but potentially have a great too-good-to-turn-down opportunity that would be fully remote. Advice on how to make WFH better?

A dedicated Separate space, which I didn’t have, so I turned my walking closet into one and I am more productive than ever!! :)

likesmart

I would LOVE a walking closet. That would really come in handy when I regret my outfit choice after I’ve left home.

Dedicated space. Really invest in it - the right desk, good chair, presentable room behind you for camera time, artwork, etc.

Routine is a must even if it's not required - wake up, shower, don't wear sweatpants, make a point to get outside for a few, have a normal lunch when possible, etc.

If it’s too good to turn down opportunity, go for it. If you hate the remote set up, just leverage that exp for something better in 2 years.

Imagine you're looking for a remote job at a large company with a sophisticated marketing function, strong manager, and room for growth. Making good traction, but then you're contacted by a company in a niche that FASCINATES you...like you read books about this subject for fun, you'd probably love this job. It's remote, the salary is good, the manager is nice, but you'd be the most senior marketing person; the company is about 200 people. What would you do?

Got covid from the UK , double vaxxed , and symptoms are wildly atrocious. Everyday I have different issues. I went from no fever to 102.4 in a couple of minutes. Blood oxygen dropped dangerously low and bounced back in a few minutes. Chills , cold sweats. My newest one is that my legs are so achey and sore it feels like they were beaten with a bat , just nonstop pain and can’t sleep. Anyone else experience these? Pretty sure I’d be hospitalized at a minimum without the vax
