For those of you that are in fully remote jobs, do you regret it? Why or why not? Did it affect your career progression?

Fully remote.

No, I do not regret it.

It did not hurt my career - if anything, the BS with being in person hurt my career progression.

Regardless, the rest of my life is SO much better when I don't have to travel or work from an office.

I started working independently over everything went fully remote. This allows me to work on 2-3 projects at the same time, since I don't have to be at any of the places place physically. Also, I would get a lot of anxiety when working in person.

WFH is separating the doers from the people who bubbled to the top based on charisma with no actual talent. Those people are so desperate to get back to in-person work because they can’t function in a world where talent, merit, and hard work are more important than a polished smile

Why should someone regret it? No flights, airports, restaurant food every week and meeting not so pleasant people face to face.
WFH allows you to work on yourself and focus on your objectives better.
There’s enough opportunity out there for the right people

Who could possibly regret work from home?

I feel like that’s only true if your peers are somehow getting in-person time that you aren’t

It’s hard if you’re joining a new company. It didn’t affect me when I was still at my old company when we went wfh but I joined a new company about 6 months ago and I only ever talk to my manager or 2 people who did training/onboarding with me. So it will be hard for me to get recognized because I’m so limited to who/what I know about the company

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.
