Discover beautiful Romania while working from anywhere
What does working from anywhere (in Romania) mean for you?
Flexibility at its best! It is a great feeling to visit places I've never seen before and work there simultaneously. I feel am more productive during those hours, and I can also enjoy the (new & beautiful) surroundings.
What are for you the advantages of flexible working?
Honestly: waking up after 9 AM :) But this comes with the costs of working until later in the afternoon.
What does a work day look like for you?
Reading - Breakfast - Scrum meeting - Work - Coffee - Work - More coffee - Lunch - Relax in bed - Work - Life.
Do you still go to the office sometimes?
Every 2-3 months, but especially when I have legal documents to sign. I also return to Iasi from time to time for personal business, and at that point, I also include a quick visit to the office.
What challenges did you face in working remotely, and how did you overcome them?
Taking a nap in the afternoon :) I overcome this by listening to hard rock music.
How do you keep "the human touch" in your team while working remotely?
Online coffee meetings and calls about non-work-related things.
Do you have a funny/ weird/ awkward story from your WFA days?
Summer has come, and sometimes I have calls without wearing a t-shirt. I keep the camera off :))).
What is the most beautiful place you worked from until now?
Mamaia and Colibita lake.
Do you have any recommendations/ tips & tricks for our readers?
Being close to my father in his last moments changed my life perspective. Don't take work so seriously, and don't mix work with personal life.
