I would say stop limiting your job search to "work from home". Even small companies nowadays (startup) can offer you such flexibility if you're not required to be in the office to do your work.

My first official job was doing an in-house marketing/branding for a Singaporean company based in PJ handling 7 countries (APAC). I was working regular office hours until my local marketing manager left and I had to report directly to Singapore which invalidate the needs for me to be in the office everyday.(travel to office and overseas once or twice a month for meetings)

4 years later (earlier this year) I accepted a new job offer doing Corp Comms and Awareness for an international bank with the thoughts of working in an office environment again. Turns out my whole team was working from home as well. I got lucky again. (only in the office for weekly meeting etc)


So yes you usually can work from home in a regional kinda job where maybe your boss will be in Singapore or some other countries and you are working with those other countries most of the time.

They just don't. for me it's just the matter of you being able to be reached at all times.(even after normal working hours cos of the timezone diff)
As long as I'm replying emails, taking calls and delivering whatever they're requesting, they wont even care if you're still in your boxer or shopping malls with your scandal.

So in a way, flexible working hours might actually ate up more of your time than regular normal working hours but you are still free to do whatever in between if you're disciplined enough.

And yes, back then I've dialed in a video call in my formal shirt with no pants at home and even pause my DOTA match halfway just to reply to a so called urgent email.
