The greatest impact is the improved compatibility of family and career.

@stain I don't have any experiences with working across different time zones, but I can Imagine, that it's not easy! On the other hand you can choose from a global talent pool, what is a game changer in my opinion. a clearly defined work time is really important to work together, totally agree!

after working onsite for 14 years, can honestly say that working remotely has saved me a ton of time which I enjoy spending with family and taking care of my health. I do however recommend for fresh grads to work onsite first, then move onto a hybrid structure

@hussein_hashish I once read the following sentence here on product hunt: Remote work infuses my days with micro-doses of humanity. - It describes perfectly how remote work improves the quality of life. I also agree with hybrid model. Once a week for the team and 4 days to get the most out of it for the company & yourself!

It had the biggest impact on my health. Now im able to walk more, workout more and do one thing that is crucial for health - eat healthy food; why? because i have way more time to prepare my food and even meal prep :)

@luka_brzin don't hear that often as an advantage, but it is definitely a huge one! I love to start the day with a 15 minutes walk, without checking the phone before.

I have a bad back now, but in general i became happier person, as i can manage my own time and on't need to ask permission if i want to take a day off etc etc. Also clerk chat https://clerk.chat/ helps me to get in touch with the customers more easy and quickly, which is great.

Started remote work before it was mainstream right after I got my master's degree back in 2015. Since I can not imagine myself without it.

@rslysh Cool, that you are an remote worker for almost 10 years. Would also never change back to a presence culture

I can travel more and better schedule my life. When I feel better, I deliver better results :) and have a tone of time for another activity that helps me to improve (and possibly improve other people's lives).

@busmark_w_nika I also like the freedom that remote work offers. The better quality of my life also affects my motivation, totally agree with your points!

@marvin_maendle Yeah, the social distance is not so good aspect of this, but I can still compensate it with tech meetups or extracurricular activities.

With CryptOn Price Forecasting Algorithm, I do not use any technical analysis. Just trading according the price predictions and making money. For this reason, https://cryptonforecast.com/ I can really say that remote and independent work feels so good and comfortable. I do not want to work as an engineer. I just want to have engineering mindset. :) Finally, "Use CryptOn, Turn Money On!"

Different people and different roles are more suitable for remote work. For example, a coding team can be operated pretty well even when working hybrid. On the other hand, other roles such as product managers need to be in a "flourishing" environment, talking and exchanging ideas with others.

Marvin Mändle
@ofir_kruvi thats true! But I think there will be new ways to sharing ideas and talking in a remote setting in the future. So excited of the changes in the next 5 years.

I've been working remotely for the last 17 years, and it's changed my life in big ways. It lets me arrange my day how I like, so I can work, spend time with my family, and relax better. But, it's not always easy. You have to make an extra effort to talk and connect with your team since you're not seeing them face to face. For me, the secret is to find a good balance and keep talking to people so you don't feel too alone. It's really about making your work fit your life, not the other way around.

@venelinkochev I really like your last sentence! In the end it should be a flexible and result focused working environment with much freedom for the employees. Happy employees = productive employees

@ipaparazzo_app you always will learn from your mistakes. Do you think through remote work you have to learn faster and by yourself?

@fc_intellectia i think it always depends. We are also a small team, but work most of the time remote. I think every team has to try different options until you find the best fitting solution
