Setting up a productive work-from-home workspace

A simple checklist for reliable remote work — connectivity, ergonomics, and boundaries.

Connectivity first

Prefer wired Ethernet when possible. Keep a mobile hotspot ready. Unstable video is the fastest way to lose interview confidence.

A neutral background, eye-level camera, and soft front lighting beat fancy décor.

Agree household quiet hours for interviews and core collaboration windows. Consistency builds trust with overseas teams.

Have Notion, Slack, Google Meet / Zoom, and your password manager ready before day one.
