It's a tricky one. Even if you do find one that is fully remote all it takes is one person in your manager -> CEO chain to make an "asses in seats" edict and it's game over.

Those types love reading work-think articles in HBR and make bold moves to make their mark on the firm.

That’s only if you work at a company with offices in the area. Remote work is just that. I can work for a company in NY, San Francisco or London.

Depends on the industry. For mine, they are increasingly common although I agree, it would be harder with no experience.

And specific to my case, I have 2yrs of experience working remote from before my masters degree. I have a remote offer from my prior job but am also fielding other ones. Remote is not just a pie-in-the-sky dream for me.

Started in consulting but have since transitioned into data science.

I'll check out the Concord area, thanks!

Am a consultant as well and I live where I want to live. Key things to keep in mind if you are a consultant are internet and airport access. My biggest heartburn is that I’m an hour from PWM (Manch is 2).

Data science if you can stay remote then the travel bit probably matters much less, unless you work for Jackson or IDEXX or the like and they make you move near.

So, the question really is, where do you want to live?

I have one, I work in insurance (2 weeks of licensing training my employer paid for). I got to bring my job with me to a state that doesn’t even require auto insurance. Though i don’t know if they would have hired me living in NH initially, I got hired in FL and moved about 9 months in.

It’s gonna be a lot harder to obtain a job in cybersecurity that’s fully remote, but for the time being i’m saving a lot of money and mental anguish getting out of florida.
