Addressing these issues is what will help drive the next flurry of moves to remote-first, so I asked our contributor list to share some of their…

My wife and I have worked from home… together… in the same office… for over five years. In that time, we’ve filled our house with babies (and kids’ stuff) and home office equipment (of which I have a lot).

Remote and hybrid work arrangements are part of the new normal, and many businesses are now grappling…
I asked my list of Buildremote contributors to define work-life balance. I took 186 responses, counted up all of the common words used, and came up with this crowdsourced definition: parity between the time you have for personal and professional use. That is a good starting point for searching for jobs with the best work-life balance, but really, you should define it for yourself… and then…
