do you work at home as an seo or have an office?
<p>i'm curious how many of you all work at home or mostly at home either through an company or freelance. or are most of you employed at a corporation?</p>
<p>my company was recently bought by a very large global company. recently i found out that all the seo and web design is contracted through outside sources. with the headquarters in europe, this being my primary job function i kinda feel well you know.... down..</p>
<p>websites i put my life into for the last 7 years are going to be handed over to a corporation to do with whatever they feel they should. i know they were never really mine, but when you spend so much of your life to making them the best you can, so much so to attract the attention of a global billion dollar company, you should feel great right? but i feel like my dog just died.</p>
<p>i don't have a bad impression of the company but the shift of moving me to the it guy has begun. normal web updates i would have done, are now being pushed aside. i don't hate it i like helping others, but i really loved being able to make a difference through the web.</p>
<p>now i'm left contemplating my future, big corporations have so much bs, i just don't feel comfortable. i would really appreciate you all giving me your thoughts and tell me about any similar experiences you have had in your life.</p>
<p>cheers,</p>

<p>i run an in house team for a large ecommorce company in the uk. we all work from the same office. i love having the team around me to bounce ideas of and debate new ways of solving problems.</p>
<p>i can fully understand how you feel, yes they are not yours and the site i work for i don't own - but i have put it a lot of long hours making the site as good as an experience as possible - i would hate for someone to come in and take control.</p>

depends on your business, at google some teams are given an hour or more a day to work on their own projects. sometimes these projects get backed by google, it's a good means of keeping the best entrepreneurial types happy and working on your side.i didn't work in that team but just having the freedom to get up from your desk and do something fun or relaxing for a while is great, we had areas to sleep, play video games, pool tables etc. being forced to stay at a desk is bullshit. it all varies depending on the team.if you’re close to production, pressure is high. outside of this there are a lot of variation, but in general people are working a lot. this is not really that there are explicit pressure to work long hours but many are very committed , and i think that when you are joining a team you’re more likely to pick up the same rythme.in terms of compensation, it depends on the role / the team and how much they want you after the on-site, but they will in general align on other offers you may have (from google/fb/apple/amazon/...) yeah that happened time ago, with a girl from europe, we "met" online we had the "greatest" connection, it felt like we knew each other from years before, but there was something we didn't talk and is "well this is great but you are in the other part of the world now," of course money , distance, even the fact we were completely strangers, we didn't talk never, (for months) where things were going, long story short, she got into another more time consuming job, things begin to get cold quickly, then one day she just didn't reply anymore, 2nd experience, i met her online, she visited me couple of times while been here , yeah she was from europe too, (for distance reference purpose ) we had great time , but things were like this is great we just have a very different life each one on their own country, we are incredible far to make things work at least for now, we still keep in contact for years as very good friends, good luck probably you both make it and find the way things work "faster" : ) it’s generic. it’s good or bad. i got the same email before getting hired at google. it could also be a rejection. good luck! I just read today that Google is looking to hire a "head of social." Too bad they missed the boat with "buzz" but i agree - i think we will eventually see the demise of Facebook and a newer/cooler platform will rise. If anyone is capable, it is Google... i understand in the old days, you did asked around to your friends and family, or teachers. and everything was a hush hush bc we didn't have the advanced technology that we got now. the books were another way of getting further information too, and dictionary and thesaurus were big part of how to communicate with everyone around in society. lots of information was learned and apply in reality right away, and we became pretty much smart by keeping our brains active and resolving our own problems and then we taught others by teaching them about issues i learned along the way. if i wanted to learn anything it had to be done in pen or pencil and in writing it on papers, and keeping things as a record too. time has change, now its a chore to write, a chore to think to keep our brains active, chore in lacking to ask questions that we might think its stupid so our computers now do the asking for us... there's nothing left that we need to do personally by hand that enables us to think logical bc our technology is so advance that now we are becoming lazier and not so active in going out anymore. sad really. i rather not have technology only for job or a cell phone for emergencies only. but thats not reality now, i got it all bc i have too. I know how you feel mate. The fact that it was online doesn't make it totally unreal like lots of people would say. There's another person at the other end who is probably equally affected. If you want to move on then try to take all the good things you got from the experience and hold on to them. Dear User,


thank you for your question.


Generally speaking, one of the most competitive RB offices is the London one due to:


- The general attractiveness of London as a city  

- The high number of candidates fluent in English as their second language and hence consider London as their first choice when looking for opportunities abroad


Regarding the application process I'd recommend to be yourself and show us why you want to be a consultant. Let us know what drives you and why we should hire you. So for me it is not about what you did but rather about why you did it and why this makes you a good candidate for us.


Best,
