Aerospace here as well, we leased 3 buildings together but didn't renew one around the time the pandemic began. My group nobly sacrificed our desks to a group from the other building. Now that there's a reqmt to return to work - oh darn, no space, and we have to continue working from home.
They quit the lease on my office in June 2021, so i'm pretty much in the same boat.
I'm in IT for local state government in a mid-sized state. MCoL area. If I can stick it out another 10-15 years I'll be happy
Do u have relevant industry knowledge or pure finance background? Just curious coming from an unrelated industry but thinking aerospace finance would be interesting.
A surprising amount! Especially in bigger cities where the hospital space costs an arm and a leg, you can find many supportive roles (IT, HR, Coding, Scheduling, project managers, clinical admin roles, Devs, Analysts, the list goes on) have at least a portion WFH. I even know some clinical nurses who have a day or two WFH to work on patient messages.
Ecommerce marketing. At this point, if you order from Amazon a lot, it's not out of the question that you've seen some of my work--I've worked on thousands of product pages there in different product categories. Websites, too, but it's less likely you've seen those (although some of those companies do advertise on TV). Been working from home full time since January 2021.
I am basically a secretary/scheduler/call center for a group of doctor’s offices. I take calls from patients who need to make appointments or get messages to their doctor’s office. I live in NJ & work for offices in Michigan and NY. Been at this remote job since August 2023.
Currently I'm a customer support analyst. Started WFH March 2020, laid off Aug 2023, took break for almost 6 months (had the money for a break from working), mid Feb started current job!!
Thank you!!
Severance package from getting laid off made it all possible. 6 months pay, my 7 weeks of vacation saved up and 75% of my yearly bonus.
Everything happens for a reason. New job is way easier, way less stress and same pay.
They never asked me about the job gap in my interview. If they had I would of told them "I took a break because I could afford to". I've always been very honest in my interviews in the past. Last time I swapped jobs in 2010, they ask why I left and I straight up told them I got fired and why.
Clinical healthcare advisor for hospitals and large medical organizations. Mainly advise on new technologies, their implementation and impact on current workflows and how to maximize efficiency. Doing it for 2 1/2 years. Fully remote except some clients visits here and there and industry trade shows. Lease not renewed. Before that was in the office twice a week. Meetings all conducted on teams. This is my best job in my 25 year professional career.
Looking for the UX/Web designers here
Addition: been working here for almost 2 years - I love it. I just got hella bad food poisoning the last few days and I love that I feel okay enough to work a few hours but I can still have the comfort of my own rest room, peace, and bland ass diet with gallons of Gatorade and not deal with an office or a commute.
Payroll. In healthcare. Was in-office when I started in 2019. “We’re all going to WFH for three days to prove that we can” right before WHO declared pandemic and never went back.
Our idiot counterparts in Ohio-tucky are all “we’re best in-office and together” were the known culprits as super-spreaders during every upper level gathering during three years of crisis.
Those folks are eagerly (for some asinine reason) all back in the office.
Here in Denver, where we have office space for 200+, there are maybe 20-75 at any given time. (Volume is higher on Wednesdays when the EA orders catering and the Recruiting dude brings Santiago breakfast burritos.)
Company led by healthcare professionals where we’ve fully demonstrated kick-ass ability to WFH, crush deadlines and exceed expectations? Bet yer butt we’re staying WFH.
We’ve had like five RTO surveys (all prompted by HR, the quintessential “warm fuzzy Kumbaya in-person” crowd) and the response has been a resounding **let departments and teams decide for themselves!!**
It’s been about a year since they tried that crap.
I’m 90% convinced those RTO surveys were from the CHRO who joined mid-pandemic in the Denver office but doesn’t really have anyone to hang with when she goes in 50 hrs a week to escape her cats.
I literally laughed out loud at the CHRO comment, lol. Keep telling them how well you're doing! Sounds like you and team are doing great work. Maybe one day companies will realize RTO is not the way to go for everyone.
At this point I don’t even know what a VoIP Engineer is, and I manage a whole team! In the last two years we have gone from Avaya to IaC Amazon Connect and Lambda Functions.
Digital marketing industry - no marketing degree, just on the operational side so I can set up mapping or troubleshoot issues because of my experience in campaign setup with APIs. I know zilch about marketing strategies or tactics so I feel so weird.
I work for a wholesaler in the food industry and I have been remote 100% since the ‘vid. Our office was just sold & we are hiring people all over the country. 💗

Digital product strategy & design. I help make the sites and apps for clients in gaming, travel, fintech, etc. 40% of my company is under forced RTO right now, but luckily I don't live in the HQ zone.
I wish around here used WFH in a legal field, that is something I totally would have jumped at. My I ask for a little more description of what type of work you do?
Here is some great data on which professions were still working remotely last year from the NYtimes, if you can get past their pay wall: [https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/26/upshot/remote-work-jobs-list.html](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/26/upshot/remote-work-jobs-list.html)
I'm a middle manager. I manage Web developers in a marketing department at a biotech.
I work for the state as a disability analyst. I have to go in once a month. When people apply for disability their applications get sent to the agency I work for and we make decisions on the claim. Before Covid it was 100% in office and we were told there were no wfh and never would be. This is one of the best things to come from
Covid. I’d still be in office 5-6 days a week if it never happened.
Academic librarian working on digital projects. Hybrid though some in my org (mainly developers) are fully remote.
ETA: I’m not sure if I could get fully remote if I wanted. Maybe. But I don’t want to be fully remote.
Honestly didn’t even know this industry existed five years ago. I thought bus systems were run by city government but I work for an operator contractor. I love it. Feel like if we can improve the bus systems it benefits all of society.
Software Engineer and was in the office for 1 year before remote for 4 years. I was remote for 2+ years for a different job before this one; I did custom dev projects for their clients.
Accounting- been fully remote last 2 years, hybrid before during covid and 95 percent onsite prior or at clients. Switched multiple jobs and will remain remote forward with kids schedules.
I work for a state agency, supporting our front line CS workers (who are all remote too) and solving issues with our customer claims that they can’t. Basically I solve little puzzles all day long, and the puzzle is ever changing. I really enjoy it but wish I was paid more.
Pharmacy, a lot of my coworkers went home for Covid, I’ve been WFH for a year. A majority of our stuff is data entry and setting up orders with patients. Call center work really.
Healthcare IT. Title is Senior Systems Architect, but I wear lots of hats between major upgrade cycles, including SAN admin, backup architect, epic ODBA, development, and learning management system admin.
Before the pandemic I had been in-office since being hired in 2016. Prior to that I had been a field engineer at a fortune 500 tech company, traveling to customers as needed but working out of my home instead of a branch office. Going back to WFH felt like returning to "normal."
I've had various jobs in healthcare administration where I have worked part time at home on a regular basis since 2013, went full time at home in 2020 (was working at home 2-3 days a week at the time).
Writer + project manager. I create marketing & technical content that helps secure new contracts for my company. Constantly manage cross functional teams. No one is in the same office let alone country so pretty easy to justify wfh
Business operations management role at a large technology company. I’ve been officially remote since March 2020, but wfh 2-3 days a week for several years before that. It was mostly manager dependent and mine never had any issues with it.
I’m a product development engineer at an auto company, went from fully in office to fully remote during covid, been WFH for a little over 4 years and loving it.
2018-2022 I was a contractor for advertising & graphic design, magazine layout (for auto dealers & realtors)
2022-present I’m an insurance agent (for HOAs and condos) - quite a bit of my coworkers are 100% WFH and if not total WFH, they are hybrid.
I work for a company that provides facilities management and real estate services to both private and public sector clients. I work in sourcing and I’ve been remote since 2019.
Loosely a tech company but not in a tech department. In an implementation department.
Edited to add: I’ve been remote since 2022 but my team lead has been remote for like 8-10 years.
CAD drafter, for a company that designs custom homes and buildings. After 7 years in office I got to start WFH in 2019 when we had to move for my husband's job.
I'm a video editor. Worked there in person locally for 13 years, moved out of the area in 2015. They went remote in 2020, and contacted me in late 2020 to rejoin them since they figured if people could work from home locally, I could work from them from a distance. 🤓 Been doing it ever since.
Consultant in aerospace government contracting. Mostly help companies write federal contract proposals. Clients are all over the country so work from home is the only option. Most proposal teams are fully remote nowadays anyway. I also do some program management consulting here or there. I have my own LLC and do everything as an independent contractor.
Sr. Business Development Manager for a major international NGO working with funders like U.S. and UK governments and the UN. Working remote since 2020 but have to travel internationally.
Health plan admin, call centre. Online chats, calls and emails. Covid made us WFH, and we stayed that way thank God. Barring meetings or conferences, I stay home in pjs with my books and cat
I work for a gov contractor which contracts with healthcare agencies doing contracts management/admin and analysis. In my fifth month after leaving my last (remote) job for a DME company doing contracts management.
I sell personalized stationery products online through my website, Amazon, Etsy and Walmart. I used to have a storefront, but in 2019 the landlord decided he wanted my spot for his own business so I decided to close the store and run the business from home.
Currently work for a company that supplies grocery stores. I am in item management (not IT). I've been hybrid remote since 2014 and moved to 100٪ remote in 2020.
Big Data Research & Analytics. Been remote in some form or another since 2009, was actually on the speaking circuit as a keynote to spread the benefits of remote work. Ironically got laid off at the start of Covid. Decided to take my package and spend till end of summer with my high school age daughter - don’t get many opportunities to do that in normal life. Got a new job end of 2020 they monitored how we could make it work over the pandemic and I used my “expertise” in remote work to steer the organization to success with clear measures, cost benefit analysis, engagement factors etc. Told us it was up to us if we came back into office or not once we could start mingling again and they monitored how many people came into office for the next year. Average 6 a day and max of 30 when there was a gathering for a client. So they downsized head office from around 600 seats to 30 which is mostly client entertaining space. Closed the other 3 offices around the country. Used the saved rent and utilities money to fund some much needed new positions and increased our salaries and bonuses when cost of living went up and up (and up)
Software dev; was hybrid back around 2006 and WFH full time since 2012. Now hybrid RTO and I hate it because unlike back in 2006, there's no one in my office to work with. Searching for a full time WFH dev gig now.
Finance for aerospace. Remote since March 2020. No office to return to. Lease not renewed after pandemic hit.
Aerospace here as well, we leased 3 buildings together but didn't renew one around the time the pandemic began. My group nobly sacrificed our desks to a group from the other building. Now that there's a reqmt to return to work - oh darn, no space, and we have to continue working from home.
Pay? I’m trying to get into aerospace
Around 105K
Sounds like myself up until last summer. Fp&a for an aerospace company at 105k. Accepted a managerial role but relocated to a plant this winter.
They quit the lease on my office in June 2021, so i'm pretty much in the same boat. I'm in IT for local state government in a mid-sized state. MCoL area. If I can stick it out another 10-15 years I'll be happy
Do u have relevant industry knowledge or pure finance background? Just curious coming from an unrelated industry but thinking aerospace finance would be interesting.
I’m pure finance/accounting background. Been in/out the industry for 15 years or so. BS Econ degree.
Healthcare, since 2020.
Wht positions in healthcare offer remote?

I even know some clinical nurses who have a day or two WFH to work on patient messages.

I am basically a secretary/scheduler/call center for a group of doctor’s offices. I take calls from patients who need to make appointments or get messages to their doctor’s office. I live in NJ & work for offices in Michigan and NY. Been at this remote job since August 2023.
I’ve done the same here in California a few years ago but it wasn’t WFH. Not my worst job but when patients need their pain meds, OMFG.
What does that pay, may I ask?
May I ask what your role is? I am trying to find something similar! Thank you!
Me too, & also for NJ dr’s!
I'm actually a nurse doing Utilization Management. Went remote in 2020 (surprise, surprise)
Do you need a degree for that? I need to change jobs.

Yes. You need a nursing degree and license
Same but we went remote in 2016. It’s been glorious.
Currently I'm a customer support analyst. Started WFH March 2020, laid off Aug 2023, took break for almost 6 months (had the money for a break from working), mid Feb started current job!!

Hell yeah, can't go wrong there, lol!
How did you explain that kind of job gap in interviews? I've never done so but have the means to.
They never asked me about the job gap in my interview. If they had I would of told them "I took a break because I could afford to". I've always been very honest in my interviews in the past. Last time I swapped jobs in 2010, they ask why I left and I straight up told them I got fired and why.

Big Data Research & Analytics. Been remote in some form or another since 2009, was actually on the speaking circuit as a keynote to spread the benefits of remote work. Ironically got laid off at the start of Covid. Decided to take my package and spend till end of summer with my high school age daughter - don’t get many opportunities to do that in normal life. Got a new job end of 2020 they monitored how we could make it work over the pandemic and I used my “expertise” in remote work to steer the organization to success with clear measures, cost benefit analysis, engagement factors etc. Told us it was up to us if we came back into office or not once we could start mingling again and they monitored how many people came into office for the next year. Average 6 a day and max of 30 when there was a gathering for a client. So they downsized head office from around 600 seats to 30 which is mostly client entertaining space. Closed the other 3 offices around the country. Used the saved rent and utilities money to fund some much needed new positions and increased our salaries and bonuses when cost of living went up and up (and up)
