Anyone go from WFH to going in an office? I WFH a few days a week but may have an opportunity that’s a 50%+ pay increase, but would require me to be in an office M-F. Worth it? Early in my career.

Absolutely, yes! Especially early in the career.
Being at office will give you the opportunity to learn about office centric social behavior, politics, manipulation and also help create a work gang with cool folks. Go for it!

I am technically 100% remote but choose to go into the office everyday even though my team lives in a different time zone. WFH is cool the first couple of months, but downhill when you start getting lonely and start gaining weight

Yes. WFH is dumb

Early in your career, yes! Network, be visible and volunteer to help others

I don’t see WFH as a negative thing as you all do. It allows me to get the things I would do after the work day, done during the work day. My job has ebbs and flows, so during the downtime I make the most of it. I will consider the move if I get the offer though. There are more details I’m leaving out.

I have a good rapport with my current manager, and he played a major role in offering this rehire opportunity. I'm confused about making the right decision here. Kindly share your views. Both offers are pretty much same.
