Ask HN: Have you switched to a remote job? Was it worth it?

1•vpaulus•2h ago
Right now, I work in a flexible way: I usually have to be in the office, but I can work from home some days when I want or need to. The workplace isn’t toxic, and I don’t really have any major complaints.

Still, I’m thinking about quitting and finding a full-remote job. The main reason is to save around 2-3 hours each day and spend that time with my family instead. It’s not just the commute time; things like “mandatory social events,” such as long lunches that last 45-60 minutes, also take up time.

Of course, changing jobs is always risky. You never know how the new boss or coworkers will be or what the new codebase will look like.

For those of you who have already made the switch to full remote, what are your thoughts and experiences?

I switched coinciding with the birth of my first child, I am under paid compared to my peers and my career progression has stalled but what I have gained by being around my child growing up is priceless. I wouldn't say you couldn't pay me enough to go back but its more than people would be willing to in the current market.
