Can you Work 100% online?

Been work from home for almost 2 years now. I could never go back to a normal office job knowing the freedom of working in my underwear 2 states away from where my desk was. Company loves it too since they don't have to pay the infrastructure costs for a giant building for all of us to fit in. If for some reason they forced us to go back, I'd find another job that was work from home, but thankfully that's not going to happen now that we've got so many people out of state and producing even more than when we were in the office.

it is impossible for me as a Carpenter/Craftsman I have to go to the workshop/customer to do my work. So 404 Homeoffice not found  :D

If I could work 100% remotely for the rest of my life, I would. As someone with ADHD I work better in an environment I control. Now when planning where me and my partner live we only have to plan for one persons commute. I am more productive. 

It’s a dream 

The company I work for did it for two years. Thousands of people did it successfully and more productively. However, everyone came back May 2022, and it hasn’t been the same. Now we’re fighting for a telework or hybrid model.

i live in a 1992 ford econoline and make music on a banjo that i crafted out of milk cartons.

yes

if it already something very online, like social media marketing or online shop writing, yea. but otherwise, at least make it hybrid so i can dip out monday and friday

I've been doing it for a long time, even before the pandemic, and it does have its perks. But the perks can often spoil.

Don't have to get up early for the commute? Start sleeping in more and more until you're starting work two hours late (totally possible if there's no time tracking).

You can do your chores in the middle of the day but then there's no clear separation between work and not-work.

And in terms of work itself, there are some times when I really wished I could be physically present with my coworkers. I've had endless Slack and email threads over what in an office would have been a two minute chat.

Would be perfect. I work at a cotton mill as a Spinner and for the past 2 to 3 years it's been going downhill. less hours. weeks with no work which means less of a paycheck to no paycheck at all. I'm struggling and not to mention I work 3RD while everyone else i know works 1st shift jobs...  I would LOVE to work at home but seems impossible to find a job that allow me ro do that!

I've been working an overnight warehouse job for years and hated it. I found a job through searching work-from-home subreddits. I ended up finding a job that does Search Quality Ratings, and is very flexible. You can work up to 40 hours per week, but are only required to work at least 10 hours each week. You can log in whenever you want, and there's no real monitoring while on the clock. I tend to just log on for 5-8 hours a day and practice guitar while working :)

i wish i had an online job. if anyone knows how i can apply to an online job LMK PLEASE 

Im a video game developer and do work 100% online right now :) If you work in a tech/IT related field its very easy to find remote positions!

I really like having a 100% remote, online job. It's just convenient.

You might be surprised by how accessible 100% online jobs are now, and it will only increase in the future. In the software / tech sector there is an increasing amount of jobs that are completely detached from computer science / programming that are fully remote and online (think HR, management, business analysists, marketing), potentially due to the efficiency of having software developers and IT professionals work from home. It makes sense to expand within individual companies.

I have been working hybrid (both office and remote) in the past and I absolutely prefer remote. Less stressful and I can organize my work better. :)

I'm gonna weigh in on this one;

In very rural places - like where I live, there are very few tech jobs so the only choice is to either move to the town or to work remotely - now, employers like to think they run the job market so they can pick and choose where they want people to work...

That is definitely not the case - in many fields such as software engineering the Market is very candidate driven so to find the right people they have to offer some form of hybrid or remote work.

I've worked from home now for a very long time, around 8 years - and fully remotely ever since my Son was born and I am more focussed, more productive and my mental health has never been better thanks to being able to take short naps in the day, get errands done, do the school run etc I couldn't be without it!

I need to work from home so working online would be fantastic!  I don't own a cam or a mic though so i have no idea what I could do.  I could start a small business or sell stuff.

I can. Cellphone had ot wid twins and chores.. don't have to guard it..

Many people i love and myself have physical and or mental disabilities so working online seems incredibly ideal as to not strain body or mind yknow? =]

honestly working online is happening and im all here for it i believe it is totally possible as people do it already

I know this was posted 3 years ago, but it's still an incredibly relevant question. I apologize for the incoming rant, but I'm angry. 

The pandemic created and normalized remote jobs, which allowed us to rethink about the workforce in terms of disability accessibility. This opened up an opportunity for many disabled people, such as myself, to earn living wages, dramatically improving our quality of life. Right now remote positions are dwindling under the current administration in the United States. State jobs are eliminating remote work positions and forcing people back into the office. For those unable to enter into the physical workforce, applying for disability benefits is a daunting process and nearly impossible even with proper documentation of a disability. Those who are awarded disability benefits are granted an abysmal amount of money that is dramatically below the poverty line. Aside from the removal of remote work being an egregious threat to disability rights, it is also a catastrophic economic blunder. 

I am currently in the middle of switching my college major to one that will increase the likelihood of me being able to secure remote work. Working in a physical office again is not sustainable for me as a disabled person. I have a strong skillset and a hell of a resume, but I need remote work to be able to live and function.

For those of you who are disabled and live in the United States, find out if your state has a Department of Rehabilitation. They help with employment for disabled people. Fingers crossed the department isn't cut.  

i need some work with my hands. if i’m just online the whole time it’s over. this is my fulfillment in life

I would if the job market wasn't so shitty right now.

I’m looking for a job right now and I would love if I could work from a computer  at home. I would be so organised since my files are very much organised.

It’s soooo hard finding a job that’s remote and legit tbh ;-;

Especially if you don’t have a degree or anything like that but I’m still trying !!

Looking for a job 
system engineer !

I do work 100% online, half translator (books), half copywriter for marketing agencies. It's gig-based freelance though, so one month I can be absolutely swamped with work and then the other I'll be worried I'll run out of money. So there are pros and there are cons.

I love working online & being in control of my own schedule! I mainly do YouTube & sell virtual tarot readings via my own website. Also have ADHD fwiw!

Yeah, you can! I run my own business – text editing (from simple SM posts to whole books). Some months can be super busy, some are slower, but overall it's nice. I hated my previous 9-5 office jobs. It suits me better, given I have a preschooler at home, so whenever he's sick or anything, he can just stay home and I don't have to worry about hiring a nanny.

hii! im a minor which means im not working yet, but my mom has been working from home since the pandemic. all of her work is online, which means yes, it’s possible! it’s also really helpful since she can take care of us while still earning money for our needs. she might be very busy but what matters is that she’s physically with us and capable to help us if we need help :3

Absolutely! At my last job, we worked from home due to the pandemic, and we were more productive than EVER. It was wonderful. My job right now could easily be done from home... if I wasn't having to manage so many other aspects of the workplace. 

if anyone needs a job , work from home job ,do let me know AI remote job is available with hourly payment

yeah i’ve been fully remote for a while now, mostly jumping between cafés and co-working spaces. connection isn’t always perfect, so i started using a vpn just to keep stuff stable and a bit safer on public wifi. funny enough, Toggle VPN app for Android been working better than most paid ones i tried — super quick to connect and doesn’t break random sites. i just keep it running in the background and forget it’s even on.

Honestly I wouldnt say its important but rather Im greatful to have a fully remote job. It allows me to take care of my family members who have health issues, gets rid of so much time I'd spend commuting, and makes me more productive because Im in a comfortable enviroment. 

TL;DR - Im greatful for the benefits of wfh and to have even scored a fully remote job in the first place

software dev, reverse engineer, and webdev lfw here! email me at voidrane@proton.me

Yes, I think it's entirely possible, but only if you prepare and set up your workspace correctly.  I encountered the same problem—moving files between applications and browser tabs was driving me crazy. What helped me was figuring out how to add Dropbox to Finder on Mac so that everything works like a regular folder instead of a separate application. Once I set it up, everything became surprisingly natural. I didn't expect it to make such a difference, but when everything is in one place, it really does make things easier. If you're already used to working directly from Finder, it's worth a try — it saved me from a lot of minor annoyances throughout the day.
