Why should you work remotely

Affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, people's work began to shift from offline to online.Then they iscovered the benefits of working remotely.So when the epidemic recedes, most people choose to continue to work remotely or look for remote jobs.Why should you work remotely and what's the magic of remote working? Let me tell you why.

Flexibility

The first is flexibility.When we work remotely,we don’t have to commute and can work when and where we want.We just need to get our work done on time and enjoy the time that we saved by not commuting.

Remote work allows employees to better balance their professional and personal lives. We can manage family, health, or personal needs more easily without rigid office hours.Achieve Work-Life Balance.

We can create a workspace that suits us needs and preferences, improving focus and comfort.

Work from home

Productivity

When we talk about working remotely, most people would argue that the efficiency is not as high as the onsite office. But the truth is that working remotely is much more productive. Because working from home allows us to focus more on our work and not be affected by the environment. Without office interruptions (e.g., meetings, casual conversations), many people find they can focus better and complete tasks more efficiently.

Flexible working hours allow us to choose to work in the optimal working state instead of 9 to 5.Some people are more productive at different times of the day, and remote work allows them to tailor their schedules to maximize output.

Location

Actually,working from home is that you don't have to be home to work.You can travel the world and work remotely. Thanks to remote working, people no longer need to live near a major city to get good job opportunities.Remote workers are taking advantage of this by moving to smaller, cheaper towns.
Work remotely

Cost saving

  • For the remote worker: We can save money on transportation, meals, and other expenses related to working outside the home.Because there are no restrictions on location, we can work for companies in big cities and live in somewhere costs are lower.

  • For the company: Companies save on office space, utilities, and other operational costs when employees work remotely.

Health and Well-Being

Remote work eliminates long commutes and allows for more time for self-care and relaxation.Employees can take breaks when needed, engage in activities that improve well-being, and avoid the stress of a rigid office environment.Avoiding long commutes and face-to-face office politics can help us feel better psychologically and more well-being.

There you have it! Working from home is awesome. Look at this if you don't know how to find a remote job.Of course, it's not all sunshine.I will talk about that in next article.Whatever,the remote work is the future.Come and have a look.Let’s find a remote job with Work-Life Balance.

totally agree but I don't like to use the typical picture of some relaxed in the beach

it transmit the feeling you're working relaxed, seeing the see, watching waves .... and not working and this is not good to convince companies about the good points you mention later

Location is the main point for me when it comes to work. I absolutely hate cold winters and dream of working from a beach somewhere, wearing just a t-shirt and enjoying the sun. It sounds like the perfect lifestyle! To achieve that level of independence, I’ve started learning coding a few months ago, using resources like CoreLangs corelangs.org/js/basics/variables/ to grasp the fundamentals. The more I learn, the more I realize how coding skills can open up new opportunities for remote work. I want to become even more independent in the future, allowing me to travel and work from anywhere in the world, whether it’s a tropical beach or a cozy café in a vibrant city. The flexibility that coding can provide is incredibly appealing, and I’m excited about the potential it holds for creating a lifestyle that aligns with my preferences and values. Here’s to learning and embracing new adventures!

Companies found that programmers could work remotely at a lower cost.
instead of making their teams remote they sacked them and hired loads of overseas workers at a low pay rate to do their dev for them.

There is a possibility that remote work will change the existing employment pattern, but some companies still insist on recruiting based on the salary level of the company's location.

Is it possible to find jobs for entry level? Some startups, or small companies seeking developers around the world?

For me, the most honest reason is being able to stay close to my family. If you have the chance, I believe you should take it.
