Hi!
Forgive me if this has been discussed before, I tried searching and didn't really come up with anything...
Wondering if anyone here can give me some advice and practical experience on doing a weekly interstate commute?
I'm currently based in Launceston and work remotely as a software developer (basically a freelancer).
Currently, I'm weighing up my career options in the next 18-24 months including looking for short term (3-6 month) contracting in Melbourne or Sydney. I'd be looking at flying in Monday morning and spending 3-4 nights before coming home in time to tuck the kids into bed and mow the lawn on the weekend.
Just wondering who here has done similar, what their experience was like and how the family (if any) coped? This is not a long term goal, more something that I would look to do for high-value gigs once or twice a year.
