Do you guys like 100% remote work? I’m in Seattle but working 100% for San Francisco office while the majority of the team members are located in SF. At first I enjoyed not needing to go to office but then recently I started worrying about missing out on all the social interactions and disadvantages that I might have for future promotion and career developments etc. Then I’m not sure if it’s worth moving to SF office either due to the increase in the living expense and stress from moving.

I currently work for a company that’s remote-first. Everyone is 100% remote and all over the nation. If only one person on the team is remote and everyone else is meeting up, the dynamics would be off. I’ve been in that situation and quit because it’s can’t truly be inclusive, no matter how hard anyone tries.

I specifically only interviewed at remote-first companies when looking for a new job. I love remote working and my current position

Yes agreed that if everyone else is remote the. It should be fine.

I've not been 100% remote, but about as close as it can be since 2006. It has definitely had a negative impact on my networking and promotion options. Any specific questions on the topic?

To be clear I think it was worth it. I'm considering changing my situation towards less remote, but it's because my life situation has changed. And no it still won't be California.

My agency is in another city. I've excelled for three years fully remote (winning pitches and even one new client), so I don't see why RTO would ever be mandatory. Business-wise, 100% WFH is great.

Sometimes, though, I do wish I lived closer so I could have the option to go in when it makes sense. Get dinner with colleagues after work, commiserate about clients and bosses, that kind of thing.

But I would never want it to be forced on me. That completely ruins it.

Yup 100% remote since 2014. Most of the team is also remote so I’m not missing out on in-office events socials etc. I don’t think I could ever go back to a regular in-office role.

WFH Vs WF Office Vs Hybrid, Which one should you take?
If you are fresher, go for a WF Office setup. You will learn things beyond your work. In the initial phase of of your career, one needs to focus more on learning than on comfort. The interactions at office, meeting with collegues, conversations at the cafeteria, sense of responsibilty, the need to walk up on time to reach office etc will shape you for better.

Once you have a work experience of few year then any setup is fine. Go for WFH.
