Been wfh for 4 years now since covid started

I hate driving/commuting and am very happy I do not have to do that, it just seems crazy to me now. Huge risk of significant financial or physical injury, dealing with retards, huge time sink etc.

I'm extremely anti-social and don't like being around people so I'm much more stable when I can wfh, going around people all day is just super exhausting but to be honest I've only worked crappier jobs in person. Since I've gotten a decent job i've been 100% wfh so maybe that's more of a factor.

Anyone else WFH full time and actually looking to pivot into a 1-2 day a week hybrid role?

I love the flexibility of WFH but the inability to effectively collaborate on hard-group projects has been grinding me down. Individually I am undoubtedly more productive WFH, but as I get more and more senior I have so many more projects with others (even cross timezones now), and I find them brutal to work on virtually (find problem with Europe's code, have to wait for them to come online a full day before getting an answer, etc.). The only problem is I make more WFH in this role than most hybrid tech jobs in my city would pay.

Been wfh since 2017 doing motion design. Really can't complain. I'm a freelancer with two stable clients that make me 6 figs. I can take any day I want off which tends to amount to about 1-2 months a year.

When you work for multiple companies you can maintain an illusion of being "booked" when you're actually just not working. It actually makes you more desirable.

The down side to this is multiple clients often have a bunch of shit going on at the same time so you end up with fuckfests of weeks here and there.

Because we aren't assembly line workers, we're maintainers. We're basically "on call" even if we aren't working. Sure there's always feature work and things to do but generally speaking they pay us to understand the code base well, communicate with management well, have high standards, fix things, fight fires.

Companies do actually commonly hire pajeets on a contractual basis to do assembly line tier mass coding work. But they prefer well educated/experienced Americans for general maintenance and "stewardship" of their very valuable code bases and applications.

Security clearance is a pain to get though. The wait during the background check phase can can be brutal if you're unemployed since it can take from 3-7 months or even a year.

The trick is to get the fuck out of industrial engineering and into a field with a higher barrier to entry. I did an internship in industrial engineering but quickly moved into systems engineering. I know someone who took an even more lucrative path and got into explosive ordnance engineering, but that's a really tough field to break into.

It's worth it anon, i think..
Had a research job that required clearance many moons ago.
It was really nice.
I spent most of my days doing nothing but hardcore non-incremental theoretical research while avoiding the politics and other tendencies of academia.
Pure quality of life doing meaningful work in a low stress environment was amazing.
Eventually left when i got offered more money but still work in the same field, more or less.

Even if a part of your collab was waving hands around in front of your coworker to explain a mindboggling 4D chess move curve graph matrix vector tensor neutrino flux capacitor, it achieves exactly zero extra effect above what is possible via screenshare, and it lacks one critical feature. It cannot be easily and discretely screen-recorded so that the mediocre employee (90% of workers are those) can REWATCH the fucking crash course in whatever the fuck you are working on.

Go for a walk every morning make sure you get some sun or your circadian rhythm will go crazy

Have a pretty specific morning routine, like walk or reading or something. A lunch routine is nice as well. WFH you can easily fit in little things you are trying to learn/practice or whatever you like. I have periods for
>Practicing japanese
>Practicing guitar
>ear training
>reading
Can also incorporate some excercise throughout the day
I have a pullup bar and some kettlebells right next to my desk. Is easy to just do a little when I get up/go to the bathroom and it can have a surprisingly significant impact just doing pullups throughout the day.

cook and clean while working : )

i have my PC set up with 2 monitors and my work laptop and another monitor so I can do my own stuff without them seeing it, i have a mouse/keyboard switcher to go between them easily.

Make sure your communicate well and go out of your way to message people, it's much easier to neglect that wfh.

Based clearance chads. This is my first one, so I'm new to the whole fed world, but it sounds like it's a good industry to have your foot in the door at least.

>>57396035

It really depends on the job and type of clearance. The Government proper is just about the only people who will hire you at entry level and give you a clearance either MIL or CIV. The fastest route to a TS/SCI is to join one of the reserve or national guard components (doesn't matter which branch) and pick an Intelligence MOS/job. Or Join DoD as a civilian for your clearance, then go contractor or IC. You can also find a company that also happens to be a government contractor for the US as part of their portfolio that will sponsor you for a security clearance, but they usually don't make it public, so you have to be lucky or do your own research.

A good place to start monitoring USAjobs regularly for postings. There's also Clearedcareers and the usual places like Indeed, LinkedIn, and Dice (Though that place has been pretty useless as it's full of head hunting contractor job recruiters). Also keep in mind, the IC does hire recent grads but is pretty picky and the process is long. Most contractors wont hire and wait around unless you're 1) a current clearance holder or 2) a computer whiz.

As someone pointed out, outsourcing to India is extremely time consuming and inefficient. I was once in a three hour meeting when they were trying to determine how copy and paste a folder from one directory to another.

Another reason I’m fine is because my work requires several degrees, multiple certifications, and government clearance. You have to be the top of your field or you won’t make it.

Contrary to what boomers say, I accomplish more than I ever did in an office and have far more time available for my family. It’s win/win.

wfh is still going on for my company, which is a majorly slow and large one. We've technically been called back to the office but it seems to be ignored and there isn't enough room anyway. I've been in the office twice in a year.

It's supremely comfy. The past year of my life has been the highest paid and lowest workload I've ever had. My manager doesn't know or care what I do and neither do the people in my team. Once it ends, I'll probably never have it so good again.

I live with my parents instead of renting, which I'd have to do if I had to live near the office. I save such an insane amount of money. Rent and travel in London costs £1,650+ per month, and then there's all the higher costs of living.

I go for a one hour walk every lunchtime. I browse 4chan with my feet up. I don't have to pretend to be enthusiastic about my job. Everything could collapse at work and I'd just laugh.

I was helping a family member with various things in the past few weeks and it came to mind how expensive all the tasks would be if she had to pay for someone to do them (although for a lot of it, she'd just be struggling). The labour, if bought, would cost well over £200 a week.

My job is fucking slow and in a disorganised and dead end division. If they call me back to the office I will apply elsewhere, even if I have to stay in the office. If I have to go in, it should be for something that'll give me upward mobility.
