Yeah I’m not sure how long I will last to be honest. I think it’s a good job but if need to be home every night, then it’s not for you. You really have to weigh all aspects of the job. Many people are sleeping in their beds, but after 14 hour days and taking their work home with them.
It does seem like many jobs are going to stay remote and allow workers to live anywhere, which is something most people couldn’t previously do. But don’t ask me, I’m semi-retired and just trying out various things in life.
