Orlando’s Answer

Choosing between online jobs and traditional in-person work is all about what fits best with your life, what you enjoy, and what you're aiming for in your career. Online jobs are great if you love flexibility and don't mind skipping the daily commute. However, they can feel a bit lonely at times and you'll need a good dose of self-discipline. On the other hand, traditional jobs offer a steady routine, chances to mingle and network, and the buzz of face-to-face chats. But remember, they might not be as flexible when it comes to your schedule. So, when it comes to deciding, think about your own situation and what you need. Keep your career dreams and your own personality in mind.

Erika’s Answer

There are always pros and cons to just about any thing be it school, career, and many other life situations. I would advise to think about several things before you chose online work.
What your personality type? Are you very social? Or you more introverted? Are you a good self-starter? Are you self motivated and good at task management?

These online career opportunities but it's critical to understand whike being in your home has it's bonuses like no commute or worry about transportation there are potential drawbacks. Do you really want to be in your house all day on a computer? Can you provide yourself an area dedicated to the job?
There is no right or wrong answer but you owe it to yourself to consider these thing before you give it a try. Believe me I could make a longer list but I think this gives you a platform to begin critically thinking about what taking an online job might look like fire you.

Amalya’s Answer

Online jobs are very popular in recent years. It all depends on your circumstances. If you need to work online for its flexibility and convenience, there won't be any issues. Anyway, traditional face-to-face jobs can never be fully replaced in my opinion. One more option: You can do the both: Working in-person and online simultaneously!
In any cases, consider the advantages and disadvantages of each job type.

Misbah’s Answer

In our modern world, where a lot of companies are providing hybrid roles and even home-based positions, I think it's a fantastic idea to start an online job. My first job here in the US was an online one. I was located in New York while my boss was in Chicago. As long as you meet your job expectations and maintain a good connection with your team, you're doing just fine. Plus, working online gives you a ton of flexibility. It helps you manage your appointments, like doctor's visits, more easily. It also saves you the hassle and time of commuting to and from work, especially if you live far from your workplace. Wishing you all the best!

Lilia’s Answer

Hello, thank you for your question. Working online definitely has its advantages - for example, you are able to work efficiently and save time from commuting. That being said, for some people, they strongly prefer in-person roles. Other people prefer something in between, like a hybrid role. It all depends on what you are looking for.

Take some time to think about the following questions:
1. Do you prefer being around an in-person team every day?
2. Do you prefer working alone on projects, or do you prefer projects where you're working together as a team?
3. When you are given a project to work on by a manager, do you prefer being able to work together in-person and ask questions directly?

Hope that the above is helpful, and best of luck!

Dhimant’s Answer

Working in-person is a fantastic way to acquire many new skills. While online jobs are great, they can't quite match the depth of experience you gain from in-person work. It's in the face-to-face interactions where you truly connect with others, building strong relationships. For anyone aspiring to take on leadership roles in the future, I highly recommend prioritizing in-person work. It's a surefire way to boost your growth and development.

Jenna’s Answer

I think it depends on your personal situation. Having an online/remote job can be great because it can provide more flexibility; however, there are many benefits to being in-person. It can be much easier to learn and be successful in-person, espiecally when you first enter the workforce or start a new job. You will likely have more 1:1 coaching and development and it will be easier to ramp up on your role. Also, if your team is hybrid and depending on your company culture, it is easier to establish yourself and brand if you are in person (avoid being out of mind, out of sight). Once you are more comfortable in your role, it may be less of a risk to go remote.
