Remote work does not present as much of a technological challenge as it would have just 10 years ago. To replicate (or, at least, approximate) an in-office experience, team leads everywhere are turning to video and chat solutions. Zoom saw a 30x increase in daily users over just a few short months, with Google Meet and Microsoft Teams not far behind.

I’m going to tell you this from the beginning: Working remotely is not for everyone. No matter how many studies you’ve read and solutions you think you’ve found. I’ve been working remotely for a year now (possibly many more by the time you read this). And, yes, I do think it was the right choice for me. But I also believe it has its cons in addition to all the benefits you might expect. Everyone is saying that working remotely is the future of work. I say it’s the present.
