Work in an office or work from home?
In my career I've worked both in offices as well as from my home. Currently I work from home. Many times I get questions like "Do you like it?" "Do you get as much done?" "Do you miss working with people?" In fairness I think the answers have changed over the course of my career. Right now my answers are "Yes!" "Yes" and "Yes". If I were to offer any advice I'd offer the following:
In considering work from home roles ask yourself these questions:
Are you able to focus on the task at hand and not be distracted by what's going on in your environment? Kids, significant others, loud neighbors, household chores etc can all be a distraction to your job. Can you tune that out and do what the job entails?
Can you set up a dedicated work environment within your home? Working from a bed may seem like a great idea but it's not. Having a space, whether it be a kitchen table or a desk somewhere in the home or an office space within the home is essential to be able to turn "off" work when it's time and turn "on" work when it's time.
Do you need personal interaction with coworkers? This is a big one. Technology allows for chats but it is no replacement for the camaraderie that an office environment allows for. How important is that interaction to your job satisfaction?
If you are looking for a new job and are looking at a work from home role consider asking the employer what sort of support they offer for their remote employees. For example, do they provide for the cost of internet? Phone? Is there a way they engage their remote coworkers?
I'd love to hear from other people what you would like the best!
