My new job pays a lot more, but I went from having my own office to sitting in a cubicle and spending most of my time holed up working independently on projects, which bores me almost to tears.

There’s no commute, no on-site staff, no cubicles or workstations, no front desk, no communal fridge or parking lot, or storage closet. Think of it as a shared work environment that isn’t tied to a single location. Basically, it’s an office without the office building. In fact, a virtual office isn’t really a place at all.
