Honestly before writing on this prompt, I had no idea what onsite jobs were until I looked it up on the Internet.
Onsite jobs are basically those kind of jobs that involves working in a specific location such as the office,factory or even the store. They are basically the 9-5 jobs. On the other hand, remote jobs are those occupations that enables you to work from home or anywhere, as long as you have a working laptop and a stable internet connection.
The difference between the two might not seem like much at first, but when you really think about it, there’s a alot of difference between them—especially in a country like Nigeria.
Let’s start with onsite jobs. In Nigeria, these jobs can be incredibly stressful because of one major factor: commuting. Imagine waking up at 5 a.m. just to catch up with traffic or get a bus that won’t make you get to the office late. Depending on where you live, you might spend two or three hours on the road every morning, only to face the same ordeal again in the evening when it’s time to go home. The traffic alone is enough to drain your energy before you even start working. If you live in a city like Lagos, it’s almost like the job starts from the moment you leave your house and doesn’t end until you get back home.
Now, compare that to remote jobs. With online work, you don’t have to leave the comfort of your home. You can wake up, grab a cup of coffee, sit in your favorite chair, and get started. No traffic, no rushing, and no worrying about being late. As long as you have a reliable internet connection, you’re good to go. You don’t even have to stress about what to wear—you can literally work in your pajamas or even just on your singlet if you wanted to.
Financially, online jobs also seem to have the upper hand. From my observations in Nigeria here, many of them pay better than onsite jobs, even though onsite jobs tend to require more effort and are more demanding. Moreso, the flexibility of online jobs means you can take on multiple roles or gigs if you want to increase your earnings. You’re not just stuck with one boss or one paycheck.
Although remote jobs often comes with alot of challenges when it comes to having a stable and reliable internet connection. For instance, in Nigeria we do go through poor network connection alot of times which can make your job less easier. But then even if both types of jobs paid the same amount of money, I’d still pick an online job every time. Why? Because the freedom and versatility they offer is just unmatched. With online work, you can manage your time better, take breaks when you need them, have much time for yourself and your family and even balance other parts of your life more easily. You’re not just tied all the time to a desk or a specific location.
Another thng i would consider is job security. In an onsite job, if your performance drops slightly, your boss at work might not hesitate to fire you. You could be doing your best, but one bad day you might make a mistake and you would be told your service isn't needed anymore . Remote jobs, however, often offer more stability. Since most online workers are freelancers or have multiple streams of income, losing one gig doesn’t necessarily mean the end of the road. You can easily move on to another project or client without feeling like your whole career is being destroyed.
At the end of the day, I don't even think it’s hard to see why remote jobs are the better option. They save you time, energy, and money, while also giving you the freedom to work on your own terms. If I had to choose between an onsite job and a remote job, I wouldn’t even have to think twice before choosing . Remote jobs are literally more flexible, less stressful, and most times more rewarding.

I've seen most remote jobs soaring. An example is Binance, the largest crypto exchange by trading volume. To be frank, I was shocked to learn that Binance has no office or headquarters, according to their ex-CEO, Changpeng Zhao.
