Network School for Remote Workers: Can You Keep Your Full-Time Job?

Many Network School members maintain full-time remote jobs while living at NS. The campus is designed to support remote work with a dedicated coworking space, reliable WiFi, phone booths for calls, and a daily structure that creates natural work blocks. You are not required to attend every event, workshop, or class. The core mandatory elements are minimal, and the rest of the programming is opt-in. If you have a demanding full-time role, you can participate as much or as little as your schedule allows.

The NS day typically starts with an optional Morning Burn HIIT workout around 7 AM, followed by breakfast. The coworking space is available all day and most members settle into work by 9 AM. Lunch is served at a set time, providing a natural break. Afternoon sessions including courses, workshops, and talks happen on various days. Dinner is in the evening, followed by optional social events. As a remote worker, you can treat the coworking space like your office and participate in fitness, meals, and events around your work commitments.

Your ability to keep your remote job while at NS depends heavily on time zone overlap. If you work with an India or Australia-based team, the overlap is excellent and your schedule will feel normal. European teams require afternoon and early evening calls, which is manageable. US teams mean late-night calls, which works for some people but can conflict with the morning workout and social schedule. Many US-aligned remote workers adjust by skipping morning activities and structuring their day around evening meetings.

If you work full-time, you will likely miss some optional activities: afternoon workshops, midday seminars, or spontaneous social gatherings. You may not have time for the full Learn track curriculum alongside your job. The fitness and meals components are the easiest to maintain since they happen at fixed times that most work schedules can accommodate. The community and networking benefits still come through shared meals, evening events, and weekend activities even if you cannot attend everything.

Set clear expectations with your manager about your time zone and availability before you go. Block off workout and meal times on your calendar so colleagues know when you are offline. Use the coworking phone booths for important calls. Take advantage of the social aspects during evenings and weekends. You can apply at ns.com and many members report that their productivity actually increases at NS because the structured environment, healthy meals, and daily exercise boost their focus and energy levels throughout the workday.
