here r few suggestions :
- track ur time so u don't under or overwork
- if u don't have strict work hours, make sure to be online when most of the team is 4 faster communications and workflow
- if ur home setup is in a separate room, make sure it's lockable when u r in DND mode
- if they gave u gear, don't use it for personal stuff ( even in ur free time )
- remove as many distractions as u could from ur work space
- give ur best and may the source be with ya -
Don't try to take advantage of WFH. It sounds like a breeze but trust me, the company knows this too and will be monitoring you if they suspect that you're slacking off.
If you live with family, establish the fact that you are going to need privacy during work hours. Boy this was a tough one for me. Sometimes locking the door doesn't cut it.
Try to do just a little extra. I mean get some tasks done in advance to stay on top of your sprint. This will allow you to be a little lazy.
Last week, I have the courage to leave my job which was only paying me only 180 dollars a month as a Software Engineer for 2 years, and worked on-site so plus travel time and travel expenses, though, that was my first job and I learned a lot.
Tomorrow, I will start my new job that has a WFH setup, and with better pay.
I'm a bit nervous and overthinking what if they will not like me or they will terminate me before paying my debt (debt from preparing my room from WFH setup).
Any tips from WFH people and on how to not screw up on this setup?
Wish me luck guys and thanks for the answers!
