Currently exploring the option to take a full-time-remote position for a significant pay increase. Can anyone that’s recently made the move to a full-time remote job speak on pros and cons?

I left PwC 8 months ago for a fully remote Senior position (not sure why my title/company aren’t updating)
Pros:
- I’m healthier mentally and physically
- Work doesn’t define who I am or fully consume my time

Cons:
- You need to be more active with networking. Set at least 15 min of chitchat with your teammates for all parties to get to know each other
- Your team and company culture will have a significant impact on your remote working experience. Ask a lot of questions of your interviewers. Try to meet with most of the team and other teams in the company that you’ll work with frequently to get a good picture of the people that you’ll be learning from and/or coaching.

100% agree with the above on the positives and negatives. The people that want to succeed in a remote work environment but don’t, are the ones that are not proactive in networking, speaking up, and being self aware.

Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!
