Mai rapid și mai mult decât țările în ansamblul lor, orașele sunt cele care se reinventează, ocupând avangarda schimbărilor. Ele au resursele și capacitatea inovatoare de a crea noi soluții care să aducă acest ”mai bine”. Din păcate, tot ele sunt, de multe ori, victime ale ambițiilor nejustificate, ale analizelor superficiale, ale lipsei de reacție și implicare a unor grupuri populaționale importante dar pasive și chiar, cel puțin aparent, indiferente în momentele de consultare, planificare și decizie.

As a coworking space, Cowork Timisoara is hosting a lot of people who are working remotely as freelancers and not only.

We've decided it's time to have a chat about what's it like to work that way. How does this 'working-fully-remote-life' look like? What are the pros? What are the cons?

And what a better way to do that, other than organizing an open discussion on this topic with our own very cool CoworkTm residents? :D

Oana Tudor from Digital Nation and Pieter de Kiewit, recruiter (Executive search)/owner at Treasurer Search, will be joining us on the 1st of October to do just that.

Come and find inspiration for your own fully-remote work-life, straight from the source :)

See you then!

At its peak, the company commanded a valuation of tens of billions of dollars and was supposed to be on course for the stratosphere, joining companies like Google and Facebook.
