Yea, some of the postings say "must reside in the state where licensed", but how do they check actually check that? (I do have a legit address in that state, but I'm not physically in that state all the time)
I am guessing an employer can request anything, even if unreasonable. At that point you can either comply or move on!
Remote has its perks such as being able to shower or eat during lunch breaks, get up 10 minutes before your shift starts, no commute time , etc . But just be aware it can be isolating and you don’t usually feel it at first but over time you may begin to feel it especially if you’re completely alone working in the house and your spouse or other family is out of the house working . The number one complaint or setback of working from home is social isolation and that is consistent with remote workers top challenges . I kind of have mixed feelings about WFH mostly due to social isolation - everything else I enjoy . And at least my role is super chill compared to retail. I think I would be more at ease in a hybrid role where I get best of both worlds - some interaction with others and also the opportunity to wfh once or twice a week - but those opportunities in pharmacy are largely unavailable.
Thanks Doc, your input is greatly appreciated, as this is one of the very few areas of pharmacy, where I have absolutely no awareness of!!!
I think you’ll enjoy it!
UPDATE: Interview went well, dragged on for almost 1 hr. I was told to expect something by two weeks time. Really not sure I will take it, a few red flags discussed above. Plus, way out of my comfort zone, and pay scale. Maybe, not even be selected, who knows!
Hello! Curious if you have the job, I'm considering a WFH position too. Were you selected?
No, they decided to go, "a different direction", that didn't include my direction! Honestly, there were lots of Red Flags. The "position" was advertised as "in the office 0-3 days a month" and the hours were 12noon to 8pm. And, it's still advertised that way. The hiring manager told me they were moving towards 3 days a week, in office. That's not much of a WFH job! And the hours, 3pm to 11:30.

Both of you make compelling arguments, I do need to be realistic with my choices for the next 5 years. Not having to work nights and weekends, and every major holiday, is definitely worth a pay cut.
No, I have chased 7 on / 7 off for 20-25 years. I used to get prime shifts with 7 / 7, like 7am to 6 pm. Lately, its mostly regulated to evening and night shifts.
Thanks Jason, although I have no clue which country's government "Sarkari" is (don't click on it)? Might be a scammer with 1 post?????????
