I work remotely for past four years, and I totally agree with this. I still go to the office for occasional meetings and events but there is not that much pressure for it since most of my team is remote.<p>I worked for a lot of companies for the past 15 years, but this is the first time I find it hard to change my job - because working remotely is amazing.<p>I wish more companies were open to letting people telecommute. I had office based position offers that paid twice what I make but I am never trading that for the ability to get out of the room and hug my daughter. And the productivity argument is still there, it is just not the sole reason why remote rocks.<p>One of my other favorites: Work is very stressful sometimes, so I go out to a different room and punch my training bag a few times. Instant stress relief - try doing that in the office!<p>P.S. If you are reading this and are considering hiring for a remote position, drop me a line, I am a sysadmin with a fair bit of coding and extensive networking (Cisco) and teaching&#x2F;mentoring background, living in central Europe, and I grok programming and web development.
