I've been working 100% remote for 6 years now, and have seen about half the people who do end up going remote just don't like it or are not self-motivated enough to put in a full day's work without being in an office.

It’s certainly not for everyone. Easy to be distracted and it can get very lonely.

I feel like I’ve done my best work remotely though.

The ideal would be remote work most of the time with the option to go into an office whenever I like, but the reality is that’s rarely an option.

The ability to structure my own day is extremely valuable to me. I also feel I get judged less for appearances and more on what I actually deliver.
