What is Remote Working?

Remote Working is also known as telecommuting, teleworking, working from home. They all essentially mean the same thing (working somewhere other than in an office). This form of work is growing more popular these days, especially with software/tech companies. 

In my case, I work from the comfort of my own home. I work for a software company called Tasktop  based in Vancouver BC. I provide training for our software to customers, partners and employees. All of this is done remotely (over the internet). I also help manage the documentation of knowledge for our customers and teams. Below are the top 10 reasons why I chose a job that allows me to work remotely.

  1. More time with family. The time I save spent on commuting can instead be used to read books or play with my kids or perhaps enjoy breakfast and lunch with my wife who is a stay-at-home mom
  2. Flexible time. You decide when you want to work and organize your blocks of time according to your own preferences. I generally like to work between 8 to 4 but there are times when I prefer to work earlier or a bit later.  There's also times that I may want to go for a run or go to the gym and I can easily manage my time to fit that in and still be able to get my work done.
