I have been doing wfh for about 4.5 years continuously. I switched in 2021 and have lost physical contact with close friends from my previous org, who all relocated. But we keep in touch and make trips to meet when we get a chance.
In my new org, I made some good friends but have met in person only a few times. Sometimes I go and meet them, for some months I work from my hometown, for a short while I have also worked from my wife's hometown. Many months, one set of parents stayed with us.

I also went on a team building trip of 3 days outside the city, Met the teammates for lunch, festivals, Diwali/Holi dinners or new year's lunch, and similar festive occasions.
The company has closed their largest India office, and there is still a smaller rented office space where we go once In a month or so.

My wife is working in a bank so she keeps more busy, in the office. With my remote work, we both are able to manage the house, family and find time to celebrate festivals and meet families too.

You can always take hybrid work if you want to have a connect with colleagues and friends at the office.

I am a senior backend developer. I have been working from home since 2020. Switched a job in between and continuing. The following are the things which help me stay sane:
1. Place for everything, everything in its place. I never dine at my desk or take meetings while dining.
2. I have ergonomic setup. I never undock the laptop and work lying in the bed.
3. I follow a routine, that has time for exercise, work, stretching, coffee breaks, nonwork banter with colleague (not every day), after-work walks.
4. I actively socialize, be it going on date(s), meeting with friends.
5. While working, music is always playing in the background on laptop speakers.

These are great tips. I follow some of these too, and I think most people working remotely long term are using few of these tips.
Except for point 4 - music (can't concentrate with music) and point 5 - dating for me (married, my and my wife's idea of dates are different now 😄)

What are peoples opinions on work from home? It seems to be an unpopular opinion but as a junior I despise it. I work 3 feet from my bed, I find the barriers of a phone/email between me and a senior to add a huge amount of stress to my life and I think it’s stunting my career development at my firm because I can’t build relationships as effectively. I’ve never at all had mental health issues before but now am really starting to feel burnt out and anxious most of the time. What do you think?

I’ve had a nagging headache the last few weeks but not bad enough to take OTC meds. The last four days or so it has gotten worse and I’m now taking Aleve or IB Profen which haven’t helped much.

2012 Sr Associate. Left my firm in February after being recruited by a partner I used to work for, and it turns out I’m not very happy. Difficult people, terrible schedule and ruined vacations so far. A partner at my old firm in another group has asked if I would come back to work for just him. I liked working for him, we have great rapport and I could do permanent WFH since he is in another city. I don’t want to burn bridges, would this be a bad idea? Or an easy decision?
