📈 2021 work summary 🚀👩🏻‍🚀 - I left some dream cooperations 💔 mostly because I realized I have to move forward and learn something new. - I started working on various projects at Trustsoft, a remote-first company as I dreamt 💥 - I moved from the dedicated-servers world to the cloud world and much further. - I work daily in Linux (as I wanted, hurray!). 👩🏻‍🔧 - I analyzed 800+ log files to improve customers' experience when paying via a payment terminal. - I worked on AWS Migration Compliance for Trustsoft with Miroslav Kutil. - I worked on a Feasibility study about AWS Migration. I've created and adjusted documentation and did the proofreading. ☀️ - I understood better what works perfectly for me from the work-life balance. - I will never come back to the office https://lnkd.in/e6YkUBYr - I worked all year remotely and influenced some people to rethink their conditions too! - Besides remote work, I also work async most of the time. Time flexibility allows me to live even more to the fullest. Thank you, Lukas Pour 🚀 AWS Cloud Architect, for this opportunity. - Thanks to the remote cooperation, I stayed 1/2 year in Georgian country, and the rest of the year, I mainly traveled around Mediterranee. I visited dozens of beautiful places and spent much time in nature and outside in general. 🌎 Not only does it provide new perspectives on life and self-growth, but it also positively affects my work efficiency. 2022, await me 🚀 I'm starting working on my educational project and have even more ideas I plan to implement. What were your achievements this year? Any takeaways or anything you want to work at next year? I cannot wait for your inspiration in the comments! #reflection #2021goals #2021year #linux #aws #thankyou #keepgoing

I'm doing a little reflection on what university and high school studies gave me and would love to hear you too! Personally, the only valuable thing from the schooling was the language knowledge. Yet, the schools were not motivating me in learning (rather opposite). However, since I was studying a French Lycee, I admit that I have learned some French there :) On the other hand, I speak fluently Russian, which I learned myself alone in no time (compared to the studies) on a much better level. Sadly, these institutions taught me rather worse than better (for example writing patterns where more words seem to have more value, despite it's exactly the opposite). However, I can imagine that the best schools may give you some really valuable contacts (I think I can find more efficient ways for this though than spending 3+ years at some outdated informational institute). I'd love to hear about your experience if you have a spare minute! Have some of you got valuable knowledge at school? What was it? Are you still using it? On a bright note, I hope there was at least one tutor who inspired you to learn. 🙏🏻 #education #experience #polltime #learning #university #studies

Two presentations today at the same time :)

I want to thank Uncommon EntrePReneurs for letting me speak about Liberland at the Uncommon Sovereignty Conference in Puerto Rico. #Liberland #sovereignty

How your flexible working day can look like? 08 AM - 🛏 Wake up in a different time zone (05 AM at your working time zone) 08.15 AM - 🧘🏻‍♀️ Yoga & Meditation 09 AM - 👩🏻‍💻 Breakfast, work e-mail & Slack check 10 AM - 🌊 Swimming at the seaside Noon - 👩🏻‍💻 Three deep-work hours + lunch delivery 03 PM - 🏙 Walk around the city, museum visit 05 PM - 👩🏻‍💻 Four deep-work hours 09 PM - 💃🏻 Late night dinner & networking event Midnight - 🛏 Sleep Repeat 😋 Days have just 24 hours. I hate it too. That's why I strive to spend my time on meaningful activities, that exclude useless commuting and stereotype. I am crazily grateful for the flexibility I have. It helps me to recharge regularly. This is the work-life balance for me. When I work, I work. Deep-work time, focused. When I recharge, I do it fully to be able to do my work on 100%. Ask your people what they do in their free time. If they are exhausted and they don't have enough time to recharge, how can you expect their best? Thanks to everyone offering remote work. It changed my life. #remotework #workfromanywhere #workfromhome #remotejob # #worklifebalance

Networking events as a source of connection, inspiration, and new contacts 😊 Before, I was never much into networking. I didn't quite understand much why should I go to an event where everyone tries to present themselves. I thought that it's just a pointless show-off. Over time, I've changed my mind. I'm happy to enjoy networking events. From my perspective the older we get, the harder it is to find new like-minded people, whether it be our future friends, colleagues, or clients. Especially informal networking events such as this breakfast in Tbilisi, which was held only in Russian, are a great opportunity to meet new people and get a new point of view on other professions. I love to seek new possibilities of how to connect or to get a new insight or perspective on a different field, or problem I might be resolving the wrong way. It doesn't matter if you meet a student, stylist, photographer, IT geek, or event manager. I believe we all have so much to learn from each other. That's why I also believe in the transition from one field to another. Speaking from my personal experience, taking what you've learned elsewhere to a new working area can be an eye-opening benefit for everyone cooperating with you. This transition is a very painful process. Yet, I believe it's worth not giving up. Are you visiting the networking events? Do you prefer large events or rather small personal events where everyone gets enough space to share their experience? What was the best networking event you've ever visited? Cannot wait for your insights! #networking #meetups #sharing #sharingiscaring #experience #careertransitions

Checking out your emails and Slack in the morning with this view 🏙 Are the toasts ready? 🙃 A getaway to Dubai or anywhere else is always a good idea for you to recharge. #digitalnomad #workfromanywhere #workfromhome

Is this the future of #education? 😱 wow! These interactive exhibitions are fascinating and so easy to remember! Can I be a child again? #dubaiexpo2020 feels like the #futureisnow Do you like such interactive exhibitions? Do you think it's an effective way to teach people? Haven't we been sitting at the desk for quite too long already? I love this! By the way - Have you been to the expo already? Are you planning to go? It's worth it!

Super tipy! Já bych asi ještě přidala komunikaci zaměstnanců a PR aktivity. Osobně na mě funguje slyšet podcast třeba se CEO - chci dělat pro inspirativní lidi. Případně vzdělávací webinář firmy. Zjistím, kdo tam pracuje, jak na me působí, jak to tam asi chodí… Co funguje na vás? :)

Na pracovním trhu nejsou kandidáti... Pracovní portály již nefungují... Na aktivní hunting není čas... Agentury nedodávají... Tyto a jim podobné věty by mohly začít být legendární. Sepisuji proto 35 tipů, kde hledat a co dělat pro to, abyste v dnešní době přitáhli k sobě do firmy co nejvíce kandidátů. #inspirace

Why I'll never go back to the office? 👉 Because I can recharge more regularly than just twice a year for holidays. Thanks to the flexibility I can go anywhere in the world (sending greetings from Dubai 👋) and work in the morning and evening while exploring the city during the day. Sounds like a dream? Make it happen. 👉 Because my work can be performed online and I'm more productive and uninterrupted at ‘home’. After almost two years at home with the companies growing while having the teams online, I don't understand why going back. #sorrynotsorry 👉 Because this gives me more flexibility to LIVE. I'm the same hardworker as I've ever been, but I'm more productive than ever before. I know I’ve improved my endurance thanks to knowing when to say no, spending more time on my hobbies and activities that boost my mood and energy level and since I've learnt to recharge. This is a real work-life balance and it is not a buzzword. I know EXACTLY why I require remote work for anything I do. I know what I love, what I need, and what makes me the best version of myself. This is my huge THANK YOU to all companies offering remote cooperation to their people. And other thanks come to those requiring remote work conditions. This is the new normal. Welcome. #remotework #dubai #remoteworking #digitalnomad

End-point security awareness in 2021 - that's how I'd called today's webinar organized by AEC. Good job, David Pecl & Maroš Barabas! 👏🏻 Clearly explained key terms from attack surface to EDR, 👏🏻 Bringing the end-point security topic to the current circumstances (covid-19 - home-office and foreign employees solutions), 👏🏻 Introducing main threats concerning end-point security that we might run into these days. I'm happy about the activities of the security-as-a-service companies in my home country. There's plenty of content in English, but I am sure that all these efforts will pay off by bringing security awareness to more people. Do you have such events in your home country or are you checking just English or other content? I'm actually very curious about it! How does it work in other countries all around the world? Share your experience if you have a minute 😊 #security #securitymanagement #socanalyst #endpointsecurity #securityawareness

👉 #D4ASpeaker: we are excited to announce that Vit Jedlicka, president of Liberland, will be participating in #D4A2021, where we will have the opportunity to know more about this Free Republic, located between Croatia & Serbia. Remember: 📅 11th & 12th November 📍 Casa Llotja de Mar (Barcelona) 🎟️ https://d4a.io/tickets-d4a

I'm so glad to live in these times ☺️

'Can you explain what are you doing?' my grandpa asked me. 🤯🙈 'Ehm, sure... -' 'And how come you can travel and you're not in the office?' 'Well, granny, a lot of work can be done on the computer today. And it's portable. Also, the internet is working at most places. Thanks to this you can work in many places all around the world while communicating with your colleagues online.' 'Oh, we couldn't do this before. And what are you doing on your computer then?' Uh... This one was difficult. 😄👇🏻 I am analyzing and investigating data from the terminal transactions (when someone pays by card in a shop). I am checking if there is any problem that we could fix. Also, we are monitoring potential problems. Our team advises what could be monitored or how we can improve the monitoring. This helps to prevent the issues or to be aware of a problem on time. All this will help customers all over the world to have a better experience when paying with their card. 🚀 How would you explain to your grandparents what are you doing? I cannot wait to hear you! 👇🏻 P.S. Happy to be on the way. Just enjoying the sea coast views.

Are you also that bad with updating your profile? 😄 I've been already sharing a slight update - a little self-reflection a few weeks ago. Yet, when I look at it again - I am SO grateful! I really loved my previous work, but I needed some more space to grow. Sometimes there's not a better way than to go and search for something else. Key getaways from the past months: - time & place flexibility are real benefits - you'll never know everything and it's all right - dedicated servers were great, but understanding the cloud is the new writing and reading skill - never shy away from trying new things and entering a new field - you can learn A LOT if you want to - NEVER stop Happy to join the remote-first team! I feel so free and satisfied. What makes you happy at work? What does a balance mean for you? Are your colleagues more human too? 😊 P.S. We're still hiring DevOps professionals.

Exciting meeting with Prince Michel de Yougoslavie and his protégée and great architekt Alessia Demetz. Good to have Zuzana Uchnárová with us.

Adam Taborsky wrote a nice friendly reminder. Take care of yourself, it's always worth it.

🚴‍♂️🕰ZPOMALIT. ZASTAVIT. ČAS. VČAS. 🤯Paradox práce & úzkost. Jedním ze znaků úzkosti je zúžené vidění situace. K zúženému vidění dochází, když máme hodně práce, když jsme ve stresu, když jsme pod tlakem. Říkáme se: “Ještě chvíli. To přeci zvládnu. Dneska na jógu nepřijdu. Fotbal?! Nepřipadá v úvahu. Mám moc práce.” Nesoustředíme se na nic jiného než na pracovní činnost. NESOUSTŘEDÍME SE NA SEBE! Ve chvíli, kdy o sebe potřebujeme pečovat nejvíc, dopřát si více času na dobití baterek, na sebe zapomínáme. Odsouváme se na druhou kolej. Dochází tak k paradoxu, jehož vyústěním bývá vyhoření. STAREJME SE O SEBE! 💸Výzkumy zabývající se návratností (ROI) za každý $ investovaný do intervencí zabývající se duševním zdravím variují od $2,1, přes $4, po $6. Ať už jsme pesimističtější nebo optimističtější z hlediska účinnosti intervencí, tak se intervence vyplácejí. Jinými slovy: STAREJME SE O SVÉ ZAMĚSTNANCE.

'When you have 1% taxes in Georgia, can I just come, ask for the same and go back without living over there?' TL;DR Most likely NOT. (Logically you can, but it won't be legal) Yes, you can have a company somewhere else, but this topic is very complex. You still should get the cash from the company to you which should be taxed somehow, right? What I want to cover today is what most freelancers or contractors are dealing with. If you're thinking of moving elsewhere and thinking about your tax residency, you should know about what DOMICILE is. What is usually considered as a domicile: - passport or a citizen of the country - bank accounts in the country - owning a property in the country - living in the country for a long time and your ties can be proven - family in the country What to do if you want to be a tax resident of a particular country? - check the country conditions when they consider you the tax resident (for many countries it's staying for 183 days and more) - check your permanent residency/citizenship conditions (Yes, there is really no simple to-do list) My example: - I still have a permanent residency in the Czech Republic (Central Europe, in the EU) - I am renting a flat in Tbilisi - I was traveling a lot without staying 183 + days in any country yet - I have a Small Business Status (freelance license) in Georgia country and I am paying taxes here. Georgia has a double taxation agreement with my country so I will get a paper for the Czech Financial Office that I am paying taxes there. Conclusion: - If I would spend less than 183 days in Georgia, the Czech Government could say that my domicile is in the CZ because I have a permanent residency there and I haven't spent more than 183 days in Georgia so I am not REQUIRED to pay taxes there. - I was planning to stay in Georgia for most of the year anyway because I love it here. However, once I spend > 183 days in the country, I will also have clear taxation proof. 🤯 I know, it's complicated and it took me a long time to understand how it all works. That's why I am trying to share the experience with you. Do you have a similar experience? Have you ever had any issues with this? Do you have your accountant for this or do you solve this on your own? (I do it on my own.) Every experience or thought is welcome! #taxes #experience #sharing #remotework #digitalnomad #domicile

😏 Come on, Microsoft. Cannot work in Microsoft Office Word now. 😄 #certificate

I've decided to create a community for CZ 🇨🇿 / SK 🇸🇰 people curious about life in Georgia country 🇬🇪 A load of people who'd love to work remotely in Georgia is getting huge. That's why I've decided to share some tips and information with the others in a closed group. I wanted to create a supportive community of people who live in Georgia or are considering moving there or working remotely from there for some time. Feel free to send a request to join the group. For the beginning, I've created a couple of unique posts in my native language (Czech). https://lnkd.in/d-FMwUBE Georgia is a very inspiring country and I'm thrilled to share my experience with other like-minded travelers with similar backgrounds and roots. 🙏🏻 The country has so much to offer! 'When considering three things being better in the US than in the Georgia country, I cannot think of any.' - quoting one US guy who moved here. 🚀 If you haven't yet, maybe it's the right time to find out more about it. 📸 Me this weekend in Stepantsminda, Georgia #community #georgia #gruzie #czskcommunity #support #remotework #digitalnomad #experience #share

Tomorrow speaking at first ever blockchain conference ever on Expo 2020 https://lnkd.in/ep92HtCc

Glorius Liberland team at the top of the world Burj Khalifa

🎉 A real offline event! 🎉 I'm SO GLAD I made it to the Crypto Community Meetup in Tbilisi by Crypto Traders International organized by Pierre Martinow yesterday! It was inspiring to see other people based here in Georgia talking about their ideas and businesses. The crypto and expat community was so welcoming! Finally, after months at home, I felt like part of something. I was not alone! I cannot express my gratefulness and happiness enough. 🙏🏻 Also, we were very lucky with an inspiring speech. 🔝 Pavol Luptak was attending the meetup and had a little presentation! He is behind many cyber/hacking and freedom-related projects. He is one of the people behind Paralelní Polis - a community place with bitcoin payments that is expanding to many countries worldwide. Besides, he also specializes in helping people to get a better life or tax conditions (see https://liberation.travel ). It's amazing to be surrounded by new people and to get another life perspective. 🙏🏻 Cannot wait for more events. Online is the future. Yet, the networking is just more practical face-to-face 😊 Have you been already visitin some events this year? Which ones? Did you like it? Have you noticed any differences? #event #cryptocommunity #community #networking

It was my great pleasure to award Sir Anthony Ritossa The Order of Merit of the Star of Liberland for his lifetime achievements as well as for his pivotal role in spreading liberty. Other distinguished recipients include: MEP Daniel Hannan, Congressman Thomas Garrett, Congressman Ron Paul, Senator Sabrina Ricciardi, Steve Forbes, Mark Skousen, Patrik Schumacher or Niklas Nikolajsen .

I've been told that my profile looks too good to be real. Is it fake? Who am I? 🤖 "I don't know anyone else who lives that much what they want as you do." once my friend said. I am surrounded by like-minded people so much that I forgot that for most people all this is sci-fi. For me, all this content is not anything else than clear self-expression. I feel so natural and myself here. I'm grateful for every reaction, for every new person I meet. For everyone who shares his story, insight, and tips (do it more often, PLEASE). I am so glad that I can get so much inspiration here and express myself the way I am. #linkedinrocks I was always hardworking. I could not do work I do not like. I was always talking about work, my vision, dreams. And then I've realized that this is the place to share all these because apparently, I can get a much better understanding than from some of my friends who live their own life. It's different from mine. It helps me to get in touch with people who have a similar story. It helps me to inspire people who would love to live similarly. I'm grateful for all of these. So yes, this is me. And I'm glad that it can be too good to be real for some people. It's amazing for me the way it is and I hope it's gonna be even better. I am ambitious. I am stubborn. I will never follow other's expectations but mine. And this is how I live now. I live the dream I've always wanted. I know the time to think of what's the next dream of mine, is now. I cannot wait for all these. I am grateful to everyone who inspired me. And I wish you found such people around you too. I wish more people were happy about their lives. To accept that their life is their responsibility and it's them who should make them amazing. No one else will do it for you. Make it too good to be real ✨💫 Have an amazing week! P.S. All the photos I share are really mine or of myself. #inspiration #work #life #content #linkedin

What's not good about constant travel when working remotely? 🧐🏝🌎 Tell me who wouldn't love to travel the world and work at the same time? Go to the beach because you can and want to, visit the mountains the other day, from Dubai to Canary Islands it must be AMAZING! You might think I had an accident when I wrote this. There are always pros and cons I think you should be aware of. Today, I want to talk about what's not good about traveling while working remotely. (You still can work remotely at the beach and just stay there, no worries :D.) 1️⃣ There's no stereotype. Yes, I hate a stereotypic lifestyle, but it helps you to create routines. Where did the workouts go? Daily meditations? Create a new habit while on travels can be more difficult. 2️⃣ You will miss your base (home) if you have any. Someone maybe for the first time in their life (me) will realize they miss the stability their home provides them. It's not just about habits, but about feeling safe and comfortable. On the other hand - when you're constantly outside of the comfort zone, it gets harder to get outside of it. 😄 But anyway, you want comfort, sometimes, at least. 3️⃣ You must constantly search for new places. It's tiring. Where to buy a new charger? Who's the best coiffeur in the city to go to? Is there any dentist? Where's the nearest market? Yes, it's exciting at first, but when you do this every two weeks - meh. Where will you stay tomorrow? What are the conditions to enter that country? 😣 💰You can notice I haven't mentioned that it can be pricy. The reason is simple - it doesn't have to be expensive if you arrange everything yourself. You can travel the world and spend less than in your home place (seriously). Would you mind about these cons or you do not care? What do you think is the best combination? Would you travel that quickly or you'd prefer to stay at the new place for a few months? 📸 It's me at the waterfall next to Stepantsminda, Georgia 🇬🇪 #travel #work #digitalnomadlifestyle #digitalnomad #digitalnomadlife #digitalnomadhints #hints #hintsandtips #traveltheworld #workandtravel #workanywhere

🇬🇪 vs. 🇨🇿 🇪🇺 I don't want to compare the developing country with a European country, but I have to. 😄 🧐' Why I am submitting my taxes online in a minute in Georgia and I needed an accountant in the Czech Republic for it? I didn't understand what to submit, it was too complicated.' I was asking my friend. 💡 'They don't have to rely on old practices or bureaucracy.' my friend who lives in Canada replied. In Georgia 🇬🇪: ✔️ You open a bank account in 5 minutes (!). ✔️ You can benefit from 1 % taxation even when you don't have local residency. The process is very easy. (can be even 0% in some cases) ✔️ You submit your taxes within 1 minute - you fill out how much you gained in the last month and how much it is from the beginning of the year. You confirm it and that's it. The whole process is done online. ✔️ If you have problems, you can contact the government via phone, email, or video calls. Also, there are video tutorials (sadly in Georgian, but the process is overall easy). (I've also offered my free volunteering assistance with the translation of the transcript and timing, but I didn't get in touch with the right team obviously). ✔️ You can benefit from a visa-free agreement between Georgia and 100 + countries for ONE YEAR. After that, you must leave the country to renew this period (no limitations). Well done, Georgia Revenue Service • შემოსავლების სამსახური and Georgia Center of Innovation 👏🏻 You made this welcoming country and mentality even better for people from abroad. #21stcentury #digitalgovernment #innovation #taxes

In Georgia, most government applications (most things are done online here) are 'secured' with an MFA via SMS (additionally to the strong password). I was curious about why SMS is actually NOT the best security - I found this article helpful, may you do so. Personally, it was a real pain in the ass when I was traveling and had many eSIMs + physical SIM cards and had to change these all the time when I had to get into personal banking or to pay taxes. What are your thoughts? What MFA are you using in your company or to secure your clients? #authentication #security #mfa

What I think holds us back when we want to work remotely abroad (and how to handle it)? 🌎🏝 It looks beautiful, but I won't lie. It was not an easy decision. You need a lot of bravery and being a bit foolish. 'Let's buy a one-way ticket and see how it goes.' is just not an easy decision for most people. I was overthinking it SO much. I had many struggles and worries, but I tried not thinking about it and just make the first step. Let me go through the most general worries and how to handle these like a master. 1️⃣ FOMO - events & friends - Events in your place almost disappeared in the last two years which made it easier. However, they are abroad too, just different ones :) Yet, we're worried we won't be connected with our friends. Thankfully we can be connected 24/7 these days. I think I even feel more in touch with them (despite online) because we share an update more often. Also, meeting new people in a new country is always eye-opening. (Plus: I think people started being more interested because they’re curious or inspired by your steps.) 2️⃣ Unknown - Yes, it's MUCH easier to stay in a home country. A language barrier, known places, you have tons of people to call to anytime (really, or you just think you do?)... Look, this step will surely change your life (in a good way). It will make you stronger, more flexible, and adaptable, which is a great skill for work and life in general. 🚀 3️⃣ Lack of information - I KNOW how it feels. I made the first research about the conditions in the first 48 hours, which was very brief. However, I didn't know everything at all. Even after arrival, I was confused. I had no clue where to buy a blender, charger, or to find a good dentist. Tips: Find related FB groups and local expat communities. Search first, and ask, they will be happy to help. People there were in the same situation as you are. Check nomadlist.com for a brief overview to get an idea and see some local expat recommendations and blogs. Overall - more remote work options mean real opportunities to travel the world or to move to the country you always were curious about. I've learned SO much about people, different cultures, and myself in the past 11 months! This lifestyle changed so much about my life and career. I've read an amazing quote lately: Traveling shows us what we haven't thought of we could search for. Do you agree? 😊 Is there anything else I forgot? What you're / you'd been afraid of? Have you ever been thinking about moving abroad and work remotely? 📸 by the horse owner in Stepantsminda, Kazbegi region in Georgia 🇬🇪 (Caucasus mountains) #remotework #wfh #workfromanywhere #traveladdict #explore #remoteworking #remoteteam #opportunities

How did I decide to work remotely and what first steps do I recommend? For a long time, people thought that those working at home are not working. (Do you remember that time before covid?) You all love those beach photos with a person working on his notebook. Honestly, I'm not taking my computer to the beach because I don't want sand to get into it (lol). I don't think beach work is a reality for most people working remotely. On the other hand - it made a good marketing job for remote work. We all thought that people working abroad on contract or as freelancers are doing some pyramid scheme work only. It sounded just TOO GOOD to be real. I was working at home for more than half a year. I was sick of the same walls, walking the same streets, and stereotypes I hate both at work and in life. Then, I've realized that I worked as a contractor for two companies and that all my goals can be fulfilled anywhere in the world. Online. I just take my computer with me. That's it. The first point was the idea that it can be done. I know it sounds easy but actually, it took me a while. And I've done it! I started with my research which took just about two days. I gave notice in the apartment, bought a one-way ticket, and left. It was about two or three weeks from when the idea appeared. Honestly, it was the best decision I've ever made! (It was NOT easy, but it's something I want to cover next time.) I mean - if you sit at home and you're not required physically in the office, shop, or storehouse, you can do it too! ✏️What to do: - Check your working conditions. Check the possible taxation adjustments (especially if you plan to stay somewhere for more than 6 months). Search for a double-taxation agreement with your country. - Think of where you want to go. You don't have to stay in one place. Wanted to travel the world? Check the conditions and you can go tomorrow. Seriously. - Find local (destination country) expat community for more support and answers. So far, I've met with very welcoming communities across countries. - Search for relevant information but don't expect you'll ever know everything. Partially, it's also about getting outside of the comfort zone. Enjoy the process, it makes you stronger. - Here you are. Enjoy a new environment every day and exploration of new places and yourself 😊. What would you recommend to someone considering moving abroad with remote or freelance work? Are there any particular questions you have? I'll do my best to answer them! 📸 It's me close to Mestia, Svaneti region, Georgia. Thanks to the flexibility my work provides I could work in the evenings and explore the mountains during the day. #remotework #digitalnomad #livewhatyouwant #retreatyourself #happiness #remoteworking #travel

A home office is NOT remote work. Please stop this confusion. When you tell someone they can work remotely but ACTUALLY, they have to go to the office once or two times a week, it's not remote work. Remote work means I can work in Istanbul whenever I want to, then go to the seaside of Antalya because I missed it, and then to Georgia because I'd love to hike the mountains. Home office means I work in between those four walls I know very well and that you require me to come to the office sometimes. Yes, I know you want it even I was at home for more than a year and a half. That's OK, some companies want it this way, let's respect it the same way we were respecting school requirements. (Do not ask me what I think about it) If you do not offer any of these perks, it means you will have a hard time searching for new people. And surprise! There's the internet in Sicily, Portugal, Canary Islands, Georgia, Ukraine, Turkey, France, Austria, or Cyprus. I could name it all but I think you got the point. No one notices the difference unless I talk about my travels. (Except for my mountain trip where I had internet problems, I confess. Resolved with a hotspot in about two minutes.) 📸 Me in Istanbul. Enjoying the view of the Galata Tower. Amazing 15 million people city with bad taxi service. #remotework #homeoffice #wfh #benefits

2019: We cannot provide you the materials online. An email? Oh, send me a fax or a carrier pigeon. 2020: Send me an email. The materials are in the internal school system, obviously, online. 2021: We cannot provide you the materials online. An email? Oh, send me a fax or a carrier pigeon. Could we please get into the 21st century in the education field? Could professors stop wasting their time and become a really respected persona and a mentor instead? Look, requiring respect doesn't work. Build it with your behavior. I know. So many questions. Do I really want that much? Sadly, over the last one week (first week) I met with so much ignorance and arrogance that I felt like if I was at the high school again. This is NOT about the law requirements, it's about people. If you are interested in the field and topic as a student (obviously, otherwise I wouldn't study it), you're: a. weird b. unnecessary c. annoying d. time-consuming (hint: choose everything that applies). All right. And the last question for 100 pt: Why do cybersecurity positions require a degree? I am awaiting your answers. #education #university

It's been three months since I started a new job 🤩 I will be sharing it officially soon, however, it's time for some self-reflection first. I've realized it's important to self-reflect a bit be well aware of my career progress. I don't want to get stuck in something that doesn't bring me joy or new knowledge. 🚀 👉🏻What I'm doing now? I have a more general role at TrustSoft. I could group it into an IT Analyst role & Compliance / Documentation one. We're a remote-first company which I totally love. (and, we're hiring - DM me for more info 📩) Currently, I'm working on a log analysis for a client with compliance to the PCI DSS (a security standard for Payment Card Industry). The aim is to improve the monitoring and to fix mainly infrastructural issues. I am investigating the logs and requesting the debug from the devs. 👉🏻What I've already done? - I worked on AWS compliance documentation for our company (successfully). I've learned a lot about project management, cloud migration, AWS tools, security, and architecture. - I helped the team with the migration feasibility study for a client with high-security standards. 👉🏻What the team taught me? - Ansible basics & Networking insight by my senior colleague Lukáš Bayer, thank you! - Zabbix monitoring basics & Linux tips by Marek Samec - No one in IT knows everything. Ask & Share. 👉🏻What I've learned in the past 3 months? - Understood the importance of compliance, improved my compliance documentation skills and research skills. - Dived into the AWS world, including the security topics. - Learned more about the architecture perspective. I had a chance to get an insight into more companies thanks to various projects. 👉🏻What I'd love to improve next (work-related)? - AWS understanding. I'd like to improve my knowledge and get some certification. - Linux skills. By continuous work in Linux and by additional courses, I'd love to boost my skills to feel even more confident in it. Thank you for the opportunity, Lukas Pour 🚀 AWS Cloud Architect! After deciding for a long time, I went with this opportunity. It's not directly a security role as I wanted, but it helps me to understand more tools and IT in general. Well played :) P.S. Ironically, the photo is from the office that I visited for about two hours. It was nice to meet my colleagues in person! #security #cloud #compliance #aws #work #job #reflection

Thank you all for voting! The votes are uneven - I am sure it's a much more complex topic and that the preferences may differ depending on the culture, financial situation of the company, and impact you can have. What's important for you and makes difference?

🏫 A new semester begins! 🏫 I'm proud to continue with my studies in Information/IT Management at the Faculty of Informatics and Statistics at Prague University of Economics and Business! I've decided on this program because I wanted to see IT from the business point of view. I wanted both technical and business insights. There was not anything better than this program in my country and I strive for the best :) I love the focus on IT & Security management. School is great - I'm glad I could try various projects such as risk management case study, penetration testing, or attending a Security Week with a focus on defensive security. It helps me to understand what I want and don't want to do in the future. The courses are kept up-to-date with the industry making it very beneficial. My second specialization is focused on Artificial intelligence & Data Mining. I was just curious about it, I don't think that it's something I'd love to do one day. However, where else to find out more about it than at school? It's been a great (and tough) lesson so far! What awaits me this semester: ✏️ Digital Forensic Analysis (I cannot wait for this one!) ✏️ IT Financial Management ✏️ Cognitive Science ✏️ New Media and Social Network Services ✏️ Project Governance I know you can do IT without university. Most of these things could be taught on-hands at work. However, I'm grateful for getting another perspective on the field and trying things out before entering some particular role. What's your opinion about universities? Was it useful for you? Were there any interesting courses or professors who influenced your future? #cybersecurity #university #education

I've always been a crazy workaholic. I believed that I show my dedication when being available 24/7, replying to messages even at night, and asking for additional work all the time. I had a hard time understanding when I had enough work, which led to overworking, stress, and pre-deadline mess. I've realized that it's not what we're asked for. No one wants you to work nonstop and to be available all the time. (And if they do, then leave - NOW). Who needs you the most is yourself. If you want to deliver outstanding results, you also MUST recharge accordingly. Value your time and strive for efficiency. I've realized I work great in 'extremes' - I do my BEST while being fully focused at work. The more I must disconnect to completely recharge on the weekend or even after work as best. This took me years to realize. If I could send myself any idea a few years back, this would definitely be the one. Thanks again to Vladimir Dolejs for the mentoring and the idea of persistence. Vladimir knows me well and knew that I put everything from myself into the project and then I died for a few weeks 😄 I am proud of my results back then but I was exhausted. The lifestyle when I was running on 150% nonstop was not sustainable. It's time to make it better and I 'work hard' on it. :) Sending greetings from a beautiful weekend getaway to Georgian nature. How are you recharging yourself? 🔋 📸 me - 📍Gudairi, Georgia #work #recharge #balance #efficiency #productivity #growth

🧐 This is actually an interesting topic. I have a clear answer - I love smaller companies, preferably when they are growing. It's different. The positions are often vague. You get easily an opportunity to try other new things. You can see the bigger picture of the company pretty fast. You understand what people around you are doing. Also, you have much higher responsibilities. Often, you don't have to explain yourself to ten people before you get approval to do something. Yes, feel free to brainstorm, but it's much easier to do things and to implement your own ideas. Yes, if you're creative and want to improve the product, you can have a direct impact on it. (I LOVE THIS!) I'd also say, that customers can more likely work directly with your own work. You see you have an impact. On the other hand - I've never tried work in a larger company :) What are your thoughts? 👇🏻

It's just so terrible when your customers are informed that the connection to your website is not secured 😄 Expired certificate 🙄 Come on. Are you also texting the company when you find this out? Doing the little things to improve the services 🤪 #certificate #ca

Monyay work - so much fun 😄🤯 Current ongoing task - logs investigation 👩🏻‍💻 Feels like🕵️🏻‍♀️ #work #workanywhere #digitalnomad #investigation

Someone said benefits? 🙂 Take care of yourself first 🙏🏻

:facepalm: OK, let's guess together what a passenger will choose in these "security" options. Password - 6 characters long only. Hmmm. Date of birth, what else? Definitely, something another person cannot find. 🙈 Security question - really? Tell me which answers you cannot find at most social media platforms of people. 😏 This is not #secured, Turkish Airlines. A good example of how not to do this. #cybersecurity #security #makesecureapps #infosec

Damn, I work in IT for almost two years, but scripting is still on the list. I haven't known it means basic IT knowledge 😣 And database - wow, I haven't even think of it. Am I missing something here? 🤔 #Hiringrequirements

Oh, this is amazing 😂 This is me in two years, OK? Can you hear me? 😄 I really like this simple cyber woman comics idea. 😍 It's a bit idealistic, but let's be a superhero for once, right? Wait for me! But mainly, I totally LOVE the cybersecurity community. One of my favorite information-sharing channels is definitely Info-sec live (see www.info-sec.live/feed). The community is really supportive. I get constant updates about new information in the field and really valuable recommendations about educational resources. Amazing! Definitely check this out - the community is open to everyone curious about cybersecurity from all around the world. 🚀 🌎 #cybersecurity #community #security #cyber #infosec #informationsecurity #womenincybersecurity #womenincyber

Even the little steps matter. 🙏🏻 I've been hard on myself and I was constantly underestimating myself. It's hard to gain confidence in the cybersecurity field because of its complexity. However, the holidays are over and I am back to keep improving. I believe taking little steps counts and is better than nothing. For today, I run into this easy lab on acloud.guru / Linux Academy combining easy commands that can improve the orientation in architecture and understanding of the bigger picture. A little pleasure to take the baby steps again. 😉 I'll try to get more hands-on experience, because I went through a lot of theory, but without any result. When you're not using it, you're forgetting it. Simple as that. Glad that at least at work I'm using CLI on a daily basis, making it much more comfortable. What are your favorite hands-on labs? 😊 #cybersecurity #linux #experience #education

What are the best locations I worked from 👩🏻‍💻 Today, you can easily work from anywhere. However, some places are simply better than others. As my friend once told me - life is too short to be spent on a bad beach, right? 🌊 There are interesting projects I totally recommend exploring if you consider working from another location. For example search for Nomad List. You can find an ideal place for yourself based on your preferences. My personal list is totally subjective, however, you might consider these places that I recommend for remote work: ☀️Lisboa, Portugal - Totally beautiful capital city with huge diversity. It's very green with many parks and lovely botanical gardens. Many people speak English too. It's very cultural, I believe you'd had a full to-discover list for the whole month. 🌊Istanbul, Turkey - Another huge capital. People do not speak English that much, but they are used to using a translator. The food availability is great and I totally love using the boats as the public transport. Overall it's very interesting and cultural. 🏔Tbilisi, Georgia - Another beautiful capital that lays in the Caucasus. If you love both beaches and mountains, definitely consider going to Georgia. What's very beneficial is that most nations can enter the country for the whole ONE YEAR with no visa requirements. Georgia has an amazing history, culture, architecture, food (!), wine, nature and it's incredibly cheap for what you get. What are the best places you worked from? I'll be looking forward to your recommendations! 📸 Photo was taken on the boat in Istanbul. #remotework #workfromanywhere #workandtravel #bestplacetowork

Remote work does NOT mean work from home. People think that by remote work, you get stuck at home in between the four walls of your apartment 24/7. You will not leave the house. The time will pass and *bang* you're 70 and go to the pension. You haven't seen anything, you were not socialized and you felt alone. Aha. You're totally wrong. 😄 So, just a few facts: 👉🏻 Your notebook is portable. 👉🏻 The internet is working not only in your home or office but also in the Georgian mountains, Turkish 15 million capital or on the beach in the Canary Islands. I swear. 👉🏻 The travels are not necessarily more expensive than your stereotyped lifestyle. When I finish my work, I go to the pool or the beach. Usually, I'm every two weeks in a different place in another country. Traveling to different locations expands my thoughts, improves my focus and drive. I feel much more motivated because I love my environment and everything I do. This is very crucial. Many people are unhappy in the circumstances they are which is demotivating for them. Fortunately, you can rethink your conditions too. I will be happy for your thoughts. 📸 I took the photo this weekend. I rented a bike and went to the Turkish nature. #remotework #workfromhome #workfromanywhere #workandtravel #flexibility #environment

Oh, I love this list. ☺️ For me, diversity at work means hearing different opinions. You don't wanna work with your mirror. If you want to improve yourself, the team, and the company, I believe that it's important to have constantly new insights. And, I think asking questions can be even more important than just giving answers 🚀 What are your take-aways? Do you have exceptional people? #culture #diversity

It's SO important! Also, you should be counting how much you provide for your salary. Is it just those 8 hours of work a day, or you spent another 2 hours commuting, having less time for yourself and hobbies? Are you on-call? Are you stressed? How many responsibilities do you have? I haven't been thinking this way before, but we're often investing a lot. 🙏

I was preparing a video about deep work but this cat said there are enough such videos 😉😼 Have an amazing week! #Monday #remotework

Office setup for this week 🚀 #remotework #digitalnomad #monday #office #remoteoffice

how do you measure your life? A simple thought to begin the week (and I would add that the purpose you find in your life and in your work may strongly enter this graph… almost at the top)

Did someone say Friday evening party or what? Oh, you mean Friday evening reading 😉 #cybersecurity #ctf #education #learning

How else would you describe me? 😄 Who's been working with me knows that I'm talkative, BUT I hate bullshitting around. LETS DO THINGS 🚀 (One day I should write a book about what Event Management gave me.😏) #work #culture #meetings #doing #doingitbetter #doingthework

Why we don't discuss responsibility here? 💪🏻 It's such an essential part of the work. Responsibility can be stressful, but also very motivating. I find work with higher responsibility often more meaningful and needed. That means I feel needed too 😉 Isn't this the way you want to feel at work? However, at some companies, you must ask for approval or check for everything you want to do. I believe it's not efficient, nor effective, it's time-consuming and can be even pretty degrading. It reminds me of a time back in high school when you're 'managed' by the teacher. Once you get to the university, you care about your studies yourself. You're no one unless you work hard, you're curious and interested. (Why should the professors even care if you are not?) I believe this approach is more respectful, but it's not for everyone. For me, responsibility means to be truly an adult. Accepting responsibility for our actions means we're brave and self-aware. We're ready to accept our mistakes and learn from them. We're ready to face both success and failures. We're ready to take action. Yes, it might be comfortable to sit in the warm place all day and spend time waiting for someone's approval, while being paid. I prefer doing things. Asking for approval just when it's relevant. Or even better, asking for relevant consultation. How much responsibility do you have in your position? Can you make a decision yourself? #decisionmaking #responsibility #respect

Normal people at midnight: Sleeping 😴 Me: Going through the Udemy CompTIA Security+ Practice test and Googling every term to write it down. 🤪 #security #cybersecurity #education #nocompromise #informationsecurity #infosec

Do you have a good coffee in the office? That's great, but I prefer this office 😉 #remotework #office #futureoffice

😏😏😏 ‘Oh, you’re interested in Cybersecurity, right? I have a hacked computer at work. Would you have time tomorrow to fix it?’ Or ‘You work at IT? Can you help us to fix the printer?’ I'm sure you know these. How many of those have you heard? How do you react? What are your favorite requests? 😄😄😄

Wow. 😮 I've just run into these benefits for a DevOps Engineer role to get an idea. How does it sound? Amazing. 👏🏻 This is what some companies offer and some don't. Which one you'd choose if you had an offer from both? Think about this next time you'll be wondering about the benefits your company should provide. 😏 #benefits #remotework #remoteisthenewyoga

Off-topic Cash 💸 We all care about it so much but we don't talk about it.🤭 Time to speak up. Please, stop offering IT roles for a funny minimum when in the supermarket you can get 2000$ for half requirements. 😒 People spend hours at night to boost their knowledge in IT. It's a constantly evolving industry. We must stay up to date. We usually have a huge responsibility. How much money will that particular worker make/save for you? You can see and count that work. Stop offering ridiculous salaries.😤 Companies in the Czech Republic are complaining about not having enough staff, but they often offer less than what you get as a tram driver.😄 Sorry, but especially when you see the costly hiring ads everywhere, it makes me laugh. When you provide at least an estimate of how much are you ready to offer, you'll save your precious hours (and of the candidates). 😏 What are your thoughts and experience? 👇 #salary #money

We often talk about the role of women in today's society. However, men don't have it easy either. 💔 'This is further compounded by the fact that girls have been taught how to evolve into both traditionally male and female roles, but boys have no role models to teach them how to evolve into both roles either: and when they fail at the traditional male role, as they increasingly go, they are left in the shit.' I'm just reading the summary of Zimbardo's book Man Disconnected. It is providing a great perspective on the current society. I strive to understand the world around me better and sociology provides just that. That's what I love about it (and I definitely recommend everyone to check this too). 👇🏻 What do you think about the current roles? #sociology

Asynchronous communication is still a dream for me. There are those syncs and meetings at 9 AM and 10 AM and then someone calls you at 3 PM or who even knows. You're expected to be available from 9 to 5 😏 Yeah... Which time zone is it anyway? 🌎 So, when should I wake up tomorrow? Where am I? Oh, Turkey, so it's gonna be 10 AM, right? *sighs* Oh, life was beautiful with full freelancing. I was preparing everything for huge events, sending the press releases sometime between 8 AM and 2 PM CEST, which was easily doable, and everything was chilled. It was hard for time management, but it's just another skill you need. Go for it. Why promoting asynchronous communication? Well... Where's my deep work? Can I really work deeply with that meeting starting in 10 minutes, five other notifications from work, and a colleague calling you because believes it's faster and more efficient? Oh, it's not. 🤯 Are you working asynchronously? Share your experience 💪🏻👇🏻 #asynchronous #remotework

'There will be 1 billion digital nomads by 2035' Wrote Pieter Levels, founder of nomadlist.com back in 2015. I don't believe it was seen doable by that time. However, over the last year, the conditions changed for most people. Many people were working from home. It seemed like a miracle - companies were adjusting the conditions in a few days. All those jobs where you never had a home office before, you were performing at home for over the last year and a half. 😄 😏 (And the companies kept growing 📈) Now - I don't know how you imagine a digital nomad. (share in the comments 👇🏻) For me, it's mainly about rethinking your current state. You can work from home? Great. How about taking your work with you and going for a month to Spain? Italy? Greece? Georgia? Costa Rica? You name it. 🏝 Yes, you can be anywhere in the world. Performing the same work. Wow. Sorry, but no, you won't sell me your newly renovated office environment. I believe more people will understand this and will be asking for the adjustment of their conditions. And yes, I think, that by 2035 (which is incredibly far from today's perspective when everything changes so fast), there will be 1 billion digital nomads. 🚀 Maybe, we'll have more co-working places for socializing and networking. Maybe, the offices will serve rather for the community, than just work. However, I do not believe most work will require the offices we know today. I recommend reading the whole article to understand all the influences. #digitalnomad #futureofwork #flexibleworking

Every year I stop for a while and make a little reflection on my life.🧎‍♀️ I make this two times a year - at the end of the year and on my birthday in August. I'm asking myself various questions to find out what I want next. This time, it takes weeks to answer. I surpassed the goals from the last year pretty quickly. 😁 No matter what I write, it always goes differently from what I imagined or planned. I think it's fine as long as you're flexible enough. 🚀 However, I realize that knowing what one wants, to have a clear vision can be game-changing. No vision > no path > no clear progress in the right direction > no fulfillment (and I could continue here). Also, the only limit is our imagination 💡 Share the way you track your goals and vision. What inspires you the most? How do you find out what you want next? I'm looking forward to hearing from you 👇

Yay!🎈 I cannot wait to share my experience with getting into the industry and to inspire some more women! Keep moving. The time is now 🚀

I've always said that we need more women in IT. We need to make space for them and give them a chance. That is why we partnered up with Czechitas and Amazon Web Services (AWS) and organized a Tech talk with Elena Rudenko from #amazon and our own Samuela Davidova to encourage women to become cloud ☁️specialists. 🙌🏻 To help even more, we will also follow up with the two day course of AWS cloud foundations. Watch this space... #aws #cloudcomputing #womeninit #czechitas #awscertified #awspartner #techtalks #womenleaders https://lnkd.in/duNFnB-b

📚 Education is an endless process. Another perspective: Why should people who strive to work harder and keep learning stay in a company that doesn't support it? Among colleagues who are not seeking new knowledge? 📉 👉🏻 If you don't invest in education in your company, you will get like-minded people only. #education #leadership #work #learning

So, you do the #work you love, right? 🤔 😏 You are the one who decides what you live. Make it the best 🚀 Also, your #workenvironment and #culture matter. Choose the best ones, not less. It's your life. Your decision. You matter. And, definitely check out Jim Kwik for tips to become the best version of yourself 🚀

Career bucket list 💡 This is a good idea for your future planning. The article provides a great inspiration. Personally, I rather focus on the fields/positions I want to get into and technical and soft skills when creating my bucket list. 🚀 I list all the technologies I want to understand and what person I want to become at work. 💪🏻 My friend also told me a great idea: 'It's better to plan and seek areas where you can imagine a progress even in 10 years.' That's so true! And I am on my way 🚀 My overall bucket list is distinguished in the following areas 👇🏻 ➡️ personal goals ➡️ travel goals ➡️ business goals ➡️ lifestyle goals ➡️ fitness & health goals Do you have your bucket list? What do you list among your professional goals? I want to hear you 👇🏻 #careers #careerplanning #bucketlist #inspiration #future

❓How to find work that can be performed online? People started asking me what job can be done remotely and how to find it. That’s a fair question. I don't have a clear answer for this. No one has. Many jobs can be done online. 🚀 I think there are three categories of jobs: 👩🏻‍💼Requires presence - You cannot work as a cashier or security guard remotely. You may think of a few more. 👩🏻‍💻Hybrid - For example in Public Relations you can write press releases online and communicate online, but you usually have to come for the press conferences. The same comes for Event Management and some others. 🏡Remote - Theoretically all the remaining positions 💡(from IT to the copyrighting, you name it) BUT Some companies simply require your presence and you cannot do much about it. 👉🏻 What I suggest to do 👈🏻 1️⃣ Think about your current experience and career. Find positions that you believe can be performed online. 2️⃣ Do your research. Check the positions openings you listed and which companies offer remote work. Apply accordingly. 3️⃣ Check also the companies in your country / continent / anywhere in the world (depending on your seniority) that are remote-first. Check their openings. If nothing relevant is available, try to contact them directly if they are planning to open something related to your specialization. These companies usually have a specific culture that is open to remote work. It's mostly worth it to make that extra job. ❗️What to remember❗️ 👉🏻 Be direct and honest. If you want to work remotely and it's important for you, mention it at the beginning. Maybe the offer was not 100% clear and if doesn't meet the expectations of both sides, it's a waste of time. Go for what you want, it exists elsewhere 😉 👉🏻 If you plan to work remotely & travel, think about the tax requirements. Usually, you're required to pay taxes in the country when you spend there 6+ months. This can be, however, very beneficial. For example in Georgia, we talk about 1% taxation. 👉🏻 Do not give it up. You can enter an on-site role now and potentially move to remote freelancing over time. This is just one of the thousands of ideas. Share your ideas and insights in the comments👇🏻 Feel free to share if you think it can help someone 🚀 #jobhunt #remotework #workanywhere #workfromhome

Catch 22 - not working app 🤦🏻‍♀️ ‘Have someone been ever testing this?’ When I ask this question while using some app or product, it resonates with me for a long. I sometimes even wonder if it’s not a scam. Isn’t this the worst one can think about your application? So, are you really testing the user experience? 😏 I understand the pressure in the deployment process. But, do you improve the user experience later, or do you just let it live until a user requires it? 🙂 I attach the photo of a form on a huge panel that you can find in Istanbul. When you purchase the public transport card, you must register on that panel or the website first to start using the card (but you can hardly catch the internet, so you better use the panel). ✔️check you're a tourist ✔️fill out the required fields 🚫error: you didn't submit the phone number. 🧐but when you check the tourist field you cannot enter it + you don’t have a phone number ✔️ you check out the tourist field 🤬 the passport number disappears ✔️ you fill out a fake phone number ✔️ you fill out again the passport number  ✅ Finally you’re good to go (if the keyboard worked properly and you didn’t have to search for another panel 🤦🏻‍♀️) ➡️ Overall, 10 extra annoying minutes. Plus, I do not understand the purpose. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Why does a transport service need my passport number, name and number? You can also go anonymously for a higher price.💰 What do you think about this? I don't believe tracing potentially ill people is possible when it's not connected to the particular train or metro car. Anyway, the key message (besides privacy) is: Please, if not necessary, try your application first 🙏🏻 I could name hundreds of such experiences. #userexperience #testing

An interesting poll 💡 Why should we get a pay cut when we have higher at-home expenses when working from home? I do not understand this logic. What are your thoughts? 👇🏻 #workfromhome #remotework

I am sharing with you a very interesting survey from Stack Overflow Answers of 65.000 developers 👇🏻 When in search of a new job, people are interested in technologies they'll be working with, followed by the culture of the company. However, from my experience, I cannot always understand the culture of the company from the job post or the company careers page. How are you expressing the culture of your company? It's an important one. Besides, 33.3% of people find remote work options important. That's game-changing. That's a lot of people. 🤔 I am becoming more and more surrounded by people who work remotely and some of them think about working from abroad or already do so. It's a great opportunity to work and travel at the same time. Wouldn't you like to work from the seaside? These people won't take a step back when searching for a new job. Personally, it was one of the key factors for me when I left my previous work. I know it's not yet much popular in my home country. However, how can you explain the need to be in the office to someone, who's been working for more than a year from home? Anyway, there's much more to read. I recommend this interesting insight into the IT people's minds. #stackoverflow #survey #remotework

Would you take a salary cut to work from home permanently? So the salary cuts for work from home have started to creep in….. We are going to see a lot of churn over the next 12 months not to say like with most change there will be positives to come from it and I’ll certainly have a few questions around that. Let’s start with this one: #workfromhome #salarycut #salarydecrease #tirosecurity

🤝 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 🚀 Imagine you have to leave the project you're working on. You have an hour to provide your colleagues with all the materials you have. Or even worse - you got an accident and you cannot inform anyone about the project progress. 📄💣 How does it feel? Do you have everything documented and accessible? 😏 I'll be honest - I was not thinking this way before. I wanted to have everything under control myself. I didn't delegate tasks and I didn't think I should be explaining each step to someone else one day. Below, I provide a few tips that can improve not only the handover process but also boost asynchronous communication in your company. 🚀 Back at FAMU International, Jiří Fusek taught us how important it is to be able to promptly hand over the project at any phase of it. And I made use of it a few months later. Thanks for providing a better awareness about it at that time. 🙏🏻 💡However, I don't think it's a skill to master just by the project managers but 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘂𝘀. Whether you're a developer or administrator, someone else should be able to take over your work straight away. Keep this on your mind when you work in a team. So, how to improve the handover process?👇🏻 1️⃣𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴. Did you find an error? List the path, logs, and all useful information. You can always get back to it and save time (you cannot remember everything), and your colleagues can take over anytime if you publish it with the company. 2️⃣𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰. Do you have a Slack channel with your client? Keep the conversation there. Limit the direct conversation because it's not searchable and your colleagues don't know what was already discussed and what not. Stop acting like an individual when you work in a team.❗️ 3️⃣𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴. It doesn't matter if you choose Google Drive, ClickUp, or any other tool your team prefers. However, keep it precise, clear, and in one place. If you have notes on your own device where no one can access them, they are useless for your team. Share things, but create a clear structure of the documentation for easy orientation. If you have files with confusing wording in a title and not separated in folders, no one can find what they're searching for, it's a pain. Is there anything else you suggest? Was there a situation when you had to take over or hand over a project? It happened to me several times. I am looking forward to you sharing your experience! #ideas #sharing #handover #takeover #project #projectmanagement #management #communication #organization

'The employee was considering remote work but decided to keep going to the office - despite the two-hour commute.' Really? 😄 I do not understand this 'logic' at all. The company saves $$$ on benefits like paying for the public transport. They save on their offices and the bills. They don't have to buy me coffee or snacks. Tables, chairs, whiteboards, pens... You name it. But in addition, they want people to feel worse by cutting their income? For working from home? If someone doesn't work as you require, you can always fire them. But it's NOT a question of WFH or from the office. You don't need people who are not good enough for your company. 🙏🏻 Thanks to those companies who want to keep their employees safe nowadays. To those who provide flexibility and understand that a real work-life-balance is not just a marketing term. I wouldn't like to work somewhere where I would be 'forced' to go to the office this way. You? #wfh #remotework #balance #income

Recruiters, do not promote work from home in the description if it's not real. 😐 👇🏻 🏡The opportunity to work from home or remotely should NOT be a question of marketing. If you promote it and the reality is different, don't do it at all. You don't have to explain yourself and your company. Some companies just have it that way. 🏢 Maybe the position is not 100% suitable for WFH, your management wants to see people sitting at the table, or the communication is not done well so you think that f2f will be better. That's all right. I am not here to judge this. 😌 📄 However, make it clear with the job offer. If someone applies for a job, hoping to discuss the WFH or remote cooperation, and on the last round you tell that you mentioned WFH for visibility, or that you offer one day per month to work from home, please, specify it in the description. ❗️There is a huge difference between whether I can work from anywhere in the world and going 19 out of 20 days a month to the office. 💡You know what would help a lot? Make it clear in the job description! Do you offer remote work? WFH several times a week? Do you insist people have to be in the office? This is an important thing that affects lives of your future co-workers. Save time to you and them. 🙏🏻
