Flexible working has significantly transformed the life of Jason Brown, a Cloud Architect at Octopus Deploy, allowing him to escape the stressful and costly lifestyle of Sydney for a more relaxed and fulfilling existence in Bright, North-East Victoria. After struggling with long commutes and high rent in Sydney, Jason embraced the remote-first culture of his workplace and relocated to a picturesque town known for its cycling trails and natural beauty. Despite facing some initial challenges, such as setting up internet access, Jason found that the slower pace of life, along with the ability to enjoy outdoor activities like cycling, greatly enhanced his well-being. He appreciates the tranquility and simplicity of rural living, despite the occasional inconvenience, and credits the flexibility offered by Octopus Deploy for enabling this positive change.
