Working from home.
 

Would some of you post the types of work you do from home ? I'm not trying to take your jobs, just very curious what can be done away from the "job" location. Thanks

IT services for a medical device company.

I remotely access client systems to upgrade/troubleshoot/install software. 5% of my job requires travel, which is anytime I need physical access to the machine, it cannot be reached remotely, or the task is too complex to efficiently complete remotely.

I'd love to work remotely from Costa Rica.

I'm working part time as a mechanical engineer.

I'm in finance (but can be repurposed as a ML software engineer), so I can do everything from home easily, but I actually like going to the office.

I'm an extrovert so it's nice having coworkers around to talk to, eat lunch with, etc.

In-person communication is also a lot more efficient than Zoom, especially sharing ideas with a whiteboard or paper.

A minor factor is that the office usually has really nice chairs and monitors, but getting a nice home office setup is not too big of a hassle or financial commitment.

My wife and I were in Costa Rica last month for two weeks. My wife is a manufacturing engineer and worked remotely for that time. (Since returning she has been working from home as has every office worker in her company)

Her project manager lives in a different US state and works remotely. They have a design engineer on her team that works remotely.

My last 3 companies have Indian tech centers with hundreds of design engineers that work remotely.

My last company sent 2D and 3D modeling to a guy that worked from home in another state. (But his business was declining because the Indians worked for 1/2 the price)

Recently I sat next to a man flying back to Portland that has been travelling by motorcycle for years through South American and now SE Asia. He is a certified accountant and does company's books remotely.

My HR rep lives on the East Coast but manages a team on the West Coast.

Here's my setup:

That's a heat lamp under the middle display. Only 100W does wonders.

Interesting stuff. Thanks guys.

I am in the Costa Rican Air Force.

That three-monitor setup looks pretty nice. My 43" TV barely fit on my desk. Two 24" screens would have been a bit too wide, but I didn't think about having them on the same stand, although I doubt there would have been enough angle to make a difference.

I'm not retired, but I've been between gigs for 15 years now.

I've been 95% socially isolated for that time. Whittling away at that last 5%.

OP, how's that electric motorcycle coming along?

I'm doing IT support services for security and surveillance systems. Most of them I've installed as well, but installations are for the most part on hold.
