Is remote work suitable for you?

It’s scary to think, but we spend about 80% of our time on work. Someone gives his career a lifetime. And what else remains to be done, because "maturity" is beautiful things, fashionable devices, mortgages and loans for vacations. Sad

But society rebelled against the system. Recently, one of the most popular trends in the world - HR has become a balance between life and work. The so-called "work-life balance" has practically turned into a religion. The main idea of ​​this movement is the idea of ​​organizing the work process without compromising personal life.

What time does your typical working day end, how long does it take to get to work and back, how much time does it take you to prepare and prepare for work - if you add this time, you get about 12 hours. Subtracting sleep and work from the day - it turns out that we devote only a miserable 4 hours to ourselves!

According to surveys, almost 70% of site users cannot spend free time on themselves or their family. Many have to take work home. Someone is forced to work part-time.

There is an exit. In this situation, this is remote work. Today, "remoteness" is preferred not only by young people. According to statistics, more and more employees aged 40+ choose a home office.

Firstly, by the age of 40, the majority reaches the “glass ceiling”, and the need to fight for the attention of management simply disappears. Plus, priorities are changing.

Remote work suits you
This type of employment is not suitable for everyone. Before you start looking for a remote job, it is important to determine your goals and remember the list of skills.

"Remote" is not suitable for ambitious candidates with big career plans. Eychars warn, a ladder to the personal office is built not only by the result of work, but also by personal communication.

Not even that. High-profile posts are primarily the result of well-established relationships with management. If you plan to become a great boss in the near future, working from home is not your option.

Still, not everyone can do it remotely. More often than not, this form of employment is practiced in the field of information technology, the financial sector, accounting and other industries for which the presence of an employee is uncritical.

In addition, everything is much more complicated than it seems. Remote work requires a high level of self-organization. Here you have to perform the same tasks as in the office. However, at home there are more distractions: a TV, a fridge, pets and a sofa. If you know how to concentrate and have a sufficient level of self-motivation - it's time to order a comfortable work chair.

How to find a remote job
Right now about 55,000 remote work options are available on the site throughout Russia.

But to find a "remote" on their own is not the only way to transfer the office to your home. Talk to your supervisor. It happens that the bosses come forward and allow employees to work from home for at least part of the week.
