    | |  | |  | | Dear Agung, | | | | Many people out there mistakenly think that good, legitimate, professional telecommuting jobs (or jobs with other kinds of work flexibility) don't exist. I've been working from home for 8 years, had partial telecommuting roles before that, and know that FlexJobs has over 21,000 flexible jobs currently posted. So when I hear things like, "working from home is only for moms," "if you're serious about your career you have to be in the office," or "all telecommuting jobs are scams," I want to tell people to stop spreading lies about telecommuting! |  | | One of the most common misconceptions is that working from home means you'll always "make less money". However, telecommuting salaries are actually pretty much in-line with office salaries, and there are substantial cost savings that you benefit from as well (no commute costs, office clothes or dry cleaning, buying coffee/lunch out, etc.). In fact, over 75 percent of employees who work from home earn more than $65,000 per year. | | | | Another common falsehood is that only moms want to work from home. According to the New York Times, "the typical telecommuter is a 49-year-old college graduate--man or woman--and belongs to a company with more than 100 employees." Whether or not telecommuters have kids is evenly divided, 50/50, which might come as a big surprise. | | | So if having a job that allows you telecommuting options or other kinds of work flexibility, don't give up!

Some time ago, a customer told me that her manager approved a request to work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays (good news), but he suggested she take a 10 percent pay cut as part of the telecommuting arrangement (bad news). That's a crazy concession and it disturbed me that her manager even suggested it. It's a view that reflects the old notion of flexibility as a "perk" instead of a business strategy. But even with that perspective, where the job gets done does not change the value of the work getting done. | | | | Find out How to Negotiate Salary for a Flexible Job >>> | | | | | 7 Great Telecommuting Jobs This Week | | | Telecommuting, or remote, jobs are often the first kind of jobs that people think of when they think of work flexibility.
