The only challenge I’ve encountered is related to the increased onsite days. When we were required to come into the office just two days a week, the commute was manageable, even though I had purchased a home farther away. However, with the shift to three onsite days, especially when they’re consecutive, the travel has become physically and mentally exhausting.
Living in an area where the train system is not yet operational means I don’t have the option to use public transportation directly, and my commute to the nearest shuttle is still a long drive. As a result, I have no choice but to drive the entire distance, which has added significant strain to my routine. This adjustment has certainly been tough, but I remain committed to balancing the requirements of onsite work with the realities of my situation.
