Life has changed quite a lot ever since I left my home country. It took me a while to adjust in a new environment and learn so many things of being homemaker.

Note—this is my first job, and so many people around the world would have joined a company via virtual onboarding (including my brother), and it challenges you to face a lot of obstacles making that learning curve quite steep. However, I feel a lot more in control now—I have learned many things along the way and here I am, to share with you my ten tips for managing WFH effectively.
