I was, until I started traveling full time again.

As much as I enjoy being able to wfh, I completely agree with D2. My team doesn't travel much and for those who are remote and in the city, they don't come into the office. So we started doing random team lunches in the middle of the week to try to get people to come in

I know it’s competitive out there, but I also don’t know how I can either position myself better, seek positions that are more aligned with my expertise/experience, or work on improving certain areas.

Any advice on how to proceed?
