I love being fully remote. I’m in-house, not sure how common it is for firms still since jurisdiction gets messier.
Most of my day is working with teams that wouldn’t be based out of the same office as me anyway, so being on calls with folks in another city or country is just as easy from my house as an office.
I work remote at a large law firm and would only recommend being fully remote if you can make the effort to build rapport with people in the office you anticipate working with the most. At least in my firm, every attorney has the responsibility to find work to do (i.e., work is rarely handed to you) so if I had not been at the firm for over 5 years, I don't think working remotely would have worked well for me.
If you plan on starting remote, I would plan on visiting the office at least once a month and commit to meeting people. That, or find ways to connect with people so they will think of you when interesting projects come in the door.
Of course this may be entirely inapplicable if the position you are being hired for ensures that you will be kept busy.
Agree with A1. I’m a relatively new Sr Counsel at a large firm (4-5 months, transitioned after 10 years in house). I work remotely and travel to the office about once per month. I am lucky that I was able to get some of my own clients/work very quickly because I’m pretty well connected in my industry. I still rely on others for maybe 40% of my work though and I have to make an effort to be visible to get it. The partners who recruited me have been super supportive in giving me work. Without them and without my small book it would be very hard and I would be worried about my hours and ability to succeed at the firm.
