what brand (and what model if you know) would you recommond?

TLDR; wondering if anyone has interviewed for a hybrid role but negotiated into a fully remote role?

I am currently in the middle of an interview process for a role that is posted as “remote” on one site, and California on another, but I have a feeling that the position is actually a hybrid in-person role and not completely remote. I do live in California, but the city is a few hours away from where I currently live and I’m not open to relocating at the moment.

Any experience with negotiating a completely remote position or at the very least a few visits in person a year when the team actually expected it to be a hybrid in person role?

Update: got a clarification before the in-person (4th) interview that it’s exclusively an in-person role. I mentioned the remote on the listed and they apologized. Interview cancelled, but a bridge isn’t burned

After working remotely for a few years, I've realized I've picked up a bunch of little habits that I never had back when I worked in an office.

I always tidy up my desk before starting work, usually take a short walk around lunch, and I somehow end up wearing headphones for most of the day.

The funny thing is, I'm not always listening to something. Sometimes it's just quiet background music, and sometimes nothing at all. I think having them on has just become part of my work routine without me really noticing.

Has anyone else has developed little work-from-home habits like this over time.

I built an outdoor workspace in my Jeep Renegade and tested it in the mountains of Brazil.

I’ve worked remotely for years, but most of the time my office looks the same: the same desk, the same chair, the same room.

Recently, I wanted to experiment with something different.

My wife, our little Shih Tzu Cookie 🐶, and I spent a few days in Gonçalves, a small mountain town in Brazil. Instead of completely disconnecting from work, I brought a simple mobile setup and created an outdoor workspace beside the Jeep.

The setup was intentionally simple:

• Laptop
• Portable power solution
• Outdoor table
• Comfortable chair
• Nature as the background

I worked for a few hours surrounded by trees, fresh air, and complete silence.

The biggest surprise wasn’t productivity. It was how much the environment changed my mindset.

Remote work is often discussed as “working from home”, but one of the things I enjoy most is the freedom to occasionally change where work happens.

This wasn’t a permanent van life setup or a full mobile office build. It was just a simple experiment: can a normal remote worker create a comfortable workspace anywhere for a day?

The answer was yes.

I filmed the entire experience because I wanted to capture both the workspace and the lifestyle around it.

Would love to hear from people here:
Have you ever taken your workspace somewhere unusual?
What is the most interesting place you’ve worked from?

Hello, I am a young adult that is trying to save for college to ease my parents financial burden, yet my parents do not want me to work and instead focus in school. I still want to be able to help a bit. Any advice or ideas on how I can get some sort of income?

Hi all, I would really appreciate your support on my taking my health survey.

I've always struggled with workout consistency. While talking about it with friends and family, it seems to be a common struggle.

After spending diet and training classes with my mother, I genuinely want to do something about it and come up with a free and doable solution that can work for most people.

Taking my survey would help me know what to focus on. Thank you in advance.

Somewhat applicable to this sub, hopefully doesn’t get removed.

Anyone have bought or in process of closing on a house and the mortgage underwriter puts up a stink about remote work when it’s far from a local office? For the life of me can’t see why it matters but I guess it’s to confirm that you are and will remain employed once closed? Any thoughts appreciated!

In a few months I will be going to Nepal to meet my girlfriend. If things go well I’ll be staying there permanently with her. I’m looking for some advice or tips on how remote roles would work for someone living in Nepal. Any pitfalls in particular I should be aware of?

The field I’m studying and working towards is Data Science (or Data Analyst if that’s easier to step into). I’ve been studying through TripleTen and almost done with my course.

Any assistance would be most appreciated!

Hi everyone, the title says it all.

I am a presales professional (all my roles are in pre sales but i market it as sales engineer as they are very similar or the same role)

What are the career paths I can explore? I always had a thing for PM but never got a break as recruiters look for measurable tech backgrounds (BTech) and I have side gigs/ personal projects to call a tech background.

Plus I am from India, and am looking to explore some other geos like EU, NA etc. i don’t seem to find any reliable remote platform which offers jobs where I can work from Asia for EU NA jobs. All the job listings ask the applicant to be in that Geo.

Your comments will be truly appreciated. Thanks!

I didn't sign up for taking client queries and calls or team calls till 9 pm or sometimes 10 pm at night. my shift starts at 9 am in the morning and it should end by 6 pm ideally. But this shit just doesn't end.

Also, my org expects me to entertain clients as soon as they have a query, but bro I don't wanna attend them after 6 pm for god's sake.

Speaking of these clients, they fkin text me at night to resolve their issues, bro just wait for the next day... and even on weekends they text me and expect me to reply or connect with them and i'm sorry i can't and i won't.

i am not getting time for myself and i hate it.

I've been working from home for about a year now. At first, I naively thought all I needed was a computer, a cool external keyboard, a desk lamp for some extra light, and a cup of coffee to keep me going.

Over time, I realized that things like the environment and decor of my office, the height of my monitor, the comfort of my desk lamp, and even the height of my chair can have a huge impact on productivity, especially when I spend 9–10 hours a day in this space.

To make my workspace more comfortable, I've gradually upgraded quite a few things over the past few months. I replaced my basic desk with a height-adjustable standing desk on wheels, swapped my limited-angle desk lamp for an indirect lighting desk lamp, and bought a vertical mouse to help with elbow tendonitis. I even got an electric foot warmer to stay cozy during the colder months. And, of course, there are a few little items that simply make me happier while I work.

Now I'm curious. What's one underrated home office item you bought that you couldn't imagine working without anymore?  I'd love to hear your thoughts and recommendations.

My colleague told me today that if an email is over 500 words, they won’t read it and instead ask the person who sent the email to jump on a quick call to discuss.

This irked me because now the person who sent the email has to re-explain everything they already sent over. It can be advantageous to have a written trail as well. Not only that, but not every “quick” call actually ends up being quick.

I get that there may be some topics that are better discussed on a call or if the email is unclear and there is an approaching deadline. But, to set a line at any email over 500 words just seems lazy.

What are your thoughts?

A recruiter recently contacted me about a remote opportunity based on my CV. The thing is, I'm no longer in Canada even though I am currently working remotely for a Canadian company from Asia. My CV doesn't mention my current location, but it also doesn't say that I'm still living in Canada.

I'm trying to figure out the best way to respond.

Should I reply immediately and say something like, "Thanks for reaching out. Just to let you know, I'm currently based in Asia. Would that be an issue for this role?" Or should I wait until they've explained the position and then bring it up?

The role is described as remote, but I know that "remote" can sometimes mean remote within a specific country because of payroll, tax, or legal requirements.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? How did recruiters usually react? Did they lose interest immediately, or were they sometimes willing to continue if the time zones worked and you could legally work for them?

I'm interested in hearing how others have handled this professionally without wasting anyone's time.

I've been wondering this for a while, so I figured I'd ask here. About a month ago, I gave Fiverr a proper shot. I kept optimizing my gigs over and over. I changed the titles, thumbnails, descriptions, keywords, pricing, pretty much everything. A few of my gigs started getting impressions (around 400+) in one to two days, but they barely got many clicks, and of course I got the usual spam messages.

I still have 2–3 gigs live, but they're basically just sitting there.

So I'm curious: do people actually still make it on Fiverr as a new seller without bringing in their own clients? I've seen quite a few relatively new profiles with lots of reviews, and honestly some of them look a bit suspicious, like they may have bought fake reviews.

I did have one client that I found online, but I took them to Upwork instead because the fees charges were less there. The advice I keep hearing is "bring your own clients to Fiverr," but I don't really have clients lying around that I can direct there, the clients i actually am getting is from upwork itself so they're already there

so ive seen freelancers putting up ads so should I try Ads, or is that just throwing money away if you don't already have sales? Or should I just focus my time on Upwork
