I work remotely three times a week. But twice a week I have to commute to work (1.5 hours away each way). Mind you my entire team is in another state. I commute to the closest office to meet with them through Zoom. I don't talk to ANYONE in the office. I want to ask my manager if I can be FT remote but I just started and don't want to sound entitled. But there is literally no point. Should I ask anyway?

So, this is an industry where you need to come with solutions not problems.

Example: “I have to come in twice a week and there’s literally no one here I meet with” isn’t a solution.

On the other hand, “my team isn’t in my local office, so if we think in person collaboration is important, how about I come up with a travel schedule so we can do that” is a solution.

Specifics can vary but generally speaking this is how you should be thinking of the approach here. Don’t say “this is what I want and what’s being asked of me is stupid” say “this is what we are trying to achieve and here’s my idea how to do it better”.

You absolutely should. That just sounds crazy. Suggest to meet in person for key meetings

Why go into the office if no one is looking for you?

Is your manager in the local office when you are there? If not, I don't see why you can't have that conversation for now (especially with COVID restrictions).

That'd free up an office slot for another person that may need to be there.

Anybody else noticed recruiters are only proactively reaching out about hybrid/on-site roles nowadays?

It's almost as if people don't want to be in offices anymore so that's why it's difficult for them to fill those roles.
Sidenote: recruiters, you can see on my LI profile that I'm remote. In the "What jobs are you interested in" field you can see I'm only interested in remote roles.
So, why are you reaching out to me about jobs in a city 3 hours away that's 100% onsite and w/out even a ReLo?
