work from home advice

Thanks for the responses. The communications issue makes sense. And it will make my decision easier. If close communication and coordination with stakeholders and project managers is going to be an essential part of the job then I will feel more secure accepting it.

I've been able to work from home at times on my present job and I am usually more effective there than when I go to the office so I'm not too worried that I'll lose focus doing it full time. You are right about setting aside a place and adequate time. Fortunately the work I do is mostly project based (and that will be even more true of the work from home job) so scheduling is very flexible and I don't actually have to sit in my home office from 9-5. Like I ever only work 8 hours anyway
