I’ve never had a WFH job and I generally don’t think I’d personally want/be successful with one. My sister is fully remote and she actually hates it, but I think its more the job she doesn’t like than the WFH aspect. She says its lonely and isolating on top of disliking her daily tasks. I’m not anti WFH for others at all, to absolutely clear.

    As others have said, working from home has many benefits

    • no commute
      • save time
      • save money
      • less risk of disease and accident
      • often easier child care options
    • greater control over environment
      • offices are often too hot or cold for some
      • stock own food, drinks, toilet paper, etc
    • better pet access. Cat on lap. Dog walk easier.
    • easier wardrobe
    • several distraction categories removed
      • people walking up to your desk
      • loud meetings

    The commute alone is pretty big. If your commute is like an hour, that’s changing your salary from like $x / 10 hours to $x / 8 hours. That’s a big bump. If your daily pay was $1000, that’s like going from $100/hour to $125/hour.
