Enjoying WFH especially since Microsoft Teams/Skype/Zoom fill that void of personal interaction. I’m ok with going into the office if necessary but of course the workplace mentality is stuck in the 1950s

it’s pretty niche bro. i’d say only go for it if it’s something you have a passion about. you’d have to either go via university and get a degree to be taken on as a graduate, or in europe they have apprenticeship schemes. not sure where you are from, but if US, your best bet is doing a degree.

obviously you don’t want to waste time in doing a degree for something that you don’t enjoy, but have a look around at different jobs that provide office based work - lawyers, engineers, HR/Admin, accountancy, etc and see what qualifications are required. majority will say masters or bachelors degree

heads up: working for a corporate company is extremely overrated from my experience - be careful what you wish for. slaving for another person 9-5 takes it’s toll

Web a***ytics/consulting/project management

dope. part time is the way - was looking at some positions part time the other day because i’m getting fed up of 9-5 full time. glad you’re doing that. quality of life is way more important and I think many have come to that realisation over the last year.

Ummm not really, but I would expect that most jobs would require one anyhow. You can get certs & s*** though.

There is absolutely no reason to return to the office if you’re working from home. I saw a study that stated that overall workplace productivity in Canada has risen amongst companies that transitioned from in-Office to remote work.

I’m in interior design

so just none of you get stir crazy huh

That doesn’t have to do with productivity though

you don't go out?

WFH has been a blessing

Companies should all just be hybrid tbh

Sad

I go on walks, meet friends for lunch & sometimes work from a bar nearby.

Really? I enjoy both so I go in some days and work from home on others. Only working from home would be a little depressing ngl

I didn't think people were this antisocial

Wait till the Work For Self movement gets cracking
Then it’s really going to get interesting

best both of worlds

Half of my office started looking for other jobs as soon as we found out coming in the office is going to be mandatory. There's going to be a massive issue if my employer doesn't let people work from home at least one day a week, I already left as soon as they said everyone has to go back to the office

Managers are mad they can't micro manage from WFH.

They need to get with the program and offer hybrid schedules or people will leave for companies that do offer it.

I think COVID definitely helped expedite this. Now that everyone can essentially start a business from their phone it’s going to continue down this path which I’m here for
