WORKING remotely out of the office is the new norm.
In the age of freelancers and startups, traditional nine-to-five office jobs isn’t the only career set-up available—here enter co-working spaces.
Although still considered an “office,” a cow orking space brings together like-minded individuals in an environment conducive for work yet not isolating like a typical office.
Fast internet connection, unlimited power plus chic interiors—these are what make them heavensent for today’s generation of creatives. Let’s take a look at some, located right in the heart of Cebu City.
