I like working remotely but I'm starting to be concerned that am a little isolated. I'm 100% remote and I live alone. I'm not the biggest people person but this much alone time probably isn't healthy. Does anyone else every feel like this?

Do you live in a city? There are so many opportunities to make friends and hang out. If not, maybe there are some local habit groups you can join?
Hanging out with people you like is still needed for introverts.

Before the pandemic I went to WINOs (bingo with wine) and game nights at the local winery we lived by. My neighbors were elderly or night owls so meeting and becoming friends with them wasn’t really an option.
Then we moved during the pandemic to a city 1% of the size of the county we lived in. Most things in town that aren’t big chain places close at 5pm which doesn’t work for my schedule.

Friend of mine was supposed to receive an offer (told verbally) from Deloitte and then just found out they are pausing on hiring the role. How common is that? Seems wildly unprofessional that none of the partners called and instead it was the recruiter conveying that news. At McKinsey, if that happened, the head of the practice or the office would personally make the phone call at the very least.
