I would love to work remotely, but it's hard to come by...

My last job was insanely stressful and the daily commute just as well. I was so burnt-out that I quit and have been (travelling) in the UK to figure out my next move. I'm so grateful that I'm in the position to do that.

I know that I can not go back to 10 - 12 hour days (including commute) with no life, no energy - not even at the weekends - just exhaustion and this constant feeling of "what's the point of this?"... I don't understand how employers can expect people to dedicate their entire lives and time to (getting to and from) work... I am a loyal, efficient, quality employee, but there has to be balance and for that you essentially need time, which is why remote work opportunities are so important.

Hi Stephanie! I feel you, I was at the same point in life a few years ago, with little to no energy on my days off... I hope you will find what makes you happy career wise :)
