The growing number of people that are working from home<\/a> are being blamed for the lower rates in some industries.<\/span><\/p>\n There is also this belief that if you are working from home, you have a lower salary compared to people who are <\/span>working in offices. Little do they know that working from home offers a lot of luxuries that no money can ever afford.<\/span><\/p>\n One of which is the safety of employees, for example from the novel coronavirus that is widespread today. But is <\/span>working from home not a good source of income?<\/span><\/p>\n If you are working for a big company and they ask you to work from home, it is true that your company may pay you <\/span>less. However, if you think about it closely, you will be saving money because you do not need to spend a lot of money <\/span>on expenses such as bus tickets, lunch, daycare, office clothing, or gas bills. Yes, the money that may be coming to <\/span>you is less, but come to think of it, the money that you will spend will be less too.<\/span><\/p>\n With the technological advancements, working from home is no longer a benefit or a reward, unlike when people from <\/span>IBM were being offered to work remotely back in the early 2000s (sadly, IBM brought back its employees to the <\/span>offices). Working from home is now a legitimate kind of work. FlexJobs released a study, and it shows that remote <\/span>work has grown faster than any other method of commuting.<\/span><\/p>\n Essentially, home-based jobs increased from 1.8 million employees to 3.9 million between 2005 and 2015. According <\/span>also to the report from FlexJobs.com, telecommuters earn an average of $4,000 higher compared to <\/span>non-telecommuters.<\/span><\/p>\n There are several factors that need to be considered to know how much a company is paying an individual to work <\/span>remotely. First, you need to consider the proximity of where you live, and where the company you are working for is <\/span>located. Also, you would need to consider your work experience when you are computing your salary as well. You would also <\/span>need to bear in mind the cost of living in your city, and where the company is located. <\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s say you live in New York <\/span>and the company that hired you is from a smaller town: chances are that their pay is based on the particular area <\/span>where they live. If you are going to do remote work, it is best if you would apply to a company that compensates <\/span>enough to meet your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n Many job postings online do not include the salary for the open position. Obviously, not all remote work pays the <\/span>same. It would still depend on the gravity of the workload that you will have. The perk, however, of working from home <\/span>is that you have a choice to have more than one employer, as long as you can meet their deadlines, and as long as the <\/span>time will not coincide with another job.<\/span><\/p>\n Listed below are some careers along with their median pay rate for a common job title. Payscale is the basis of the <\/span>payment information.<\/span><\/p>\n The median salary for a full-charge bookkeeper: $19.91\/hr<\/span><\/p>\n Financial specialists like bookkeepers mainly offer virtual accounting assistance to people remotely. Accountants are <\/span>getting in demand for remote work, in the sense that home-based businesses are seeking ways to find a balance <\/span>between the costs that their company is spending.<\/span><\/p>\n The median rate for a customer service representative: $13.68\/hr<\/span><\/p>\n Virtual assistants are the most common type of remote work. Customer service representatives can help you in a lot <\/span>of industries. If you are knowledgeable about talking to people, this one job can be good for you.<\/span><\/p>\n The median salary for a tutor: $17.57\/hr<\/span><\/p>\n Online tutors, specifically native English speakers, are in demand nowadays because people from other parts of the <\/span>world, specifically from China, Japan, and Korea, are spending a lot of money to learn English.<\/span><\/p>\n The median salary for an HR manager: $19.96\/hr<\/span><\/p>\n As a human resources person, you can help a company by virtually sourcing candidates for open positions and help <\/span>with the onboarding of the new hires.<\/span><\/p>\n The median rate for a Java developer: $40.32\/hr<\/span><\/p>\n Java developers or web developers in general are earning a lot of money because of the rise of remote work. Why?<\/span><\/p>\n Most companies that offer remote work purely operate online. For example, The Voice Realm. We have no physical <\/span>office, and we purely operate online. That is why we have our trusted developer working 24\/7 to make sure that our <\/span>website is working efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n The median rate for a voice actor: $38.67<\/span><\/p>\n Remote voice actors are also one of the highest-paid remote workers today. Besides spending <\/span>money on a full, quality-equipped studio, they do not have to pay anything <\/span>more. Like here at The Voice Realm, our <\/span>voice actors get jobs frequently. The audition process is smooth and easy. All the clients need <\/span>to do is choose the type of voice that they are looking for, listen to their demos, send out <\/span>auditions, and voila. The voice acting job is done.<\/span><\/p>\n\n Working from home is not as easy as it looks. However, if you have the skills, experience, and determination to <\/span>do it, then do it! Remote jobs do not necessarily pay less. Remote work actually improves the quality of life that <\/span>people have. Imagine earning while dealing with little to no stress because you are working comfortably at your <\/span>home? <\/span><\/p>\n Imagine not having to deal with customers face to face. Imagine not wearing coats and ties and heels that are <\/span>super uncomfortable to wear. What are a few dollars cut from your previous salary when you were working in an office, <\/span>compared to the comfort of working at home where no one would stop you from working in your PJs<\/a>, and from <\/span>slouching while talking to other people?<\/span><\/p>\n If you think you\u2019ve got what it takes, you need to do it now. You can seek remote jobs from sites like FlexJobs <\/span>and other job boards. If you want to work as a voice actor, you do not need to go far.
