[quote=Anonymous]Thanks for all of the input. It would be one hour earlier and yes I'd be willing to work on ET as needed. I would be able to have a dedicated office at home which I agree would help. I already have to use my own phone and internet for work purposes because I don't currently have a dedicated office/line, so that'd be no different and I'm willing to continue to pay for that aspect. I wouldn't be as willing to pay for each trip back to HQ so I guess that's a possible point of contention.

The other potential issue is that the reason I can work from home easily now is that the contracts I am on don't require, by nature of the actual contract, working on site. If there was to be an important contract that required even some work on site I obviously couldn't do that. Another potential problem is if my role on a contract requires access to data - something which existing contracts don't require but we anticipate they will within the next year. I suppose we would have to negotiate this aspect with client and ensure a secure data environment - unfortunately in my experience a lot of clients get unnecessarily worked up over this even when the proper protections are in place.

I am more or less the only person on my team with my set of qualifications and certain skills, so I hope that will help convince them. I am not irreplaceable, but yes it would be less work for them to keep me even if it means having to do it from several states away. [/quote]
