Thoughts on starting a remote job right out of college? I didn’t have the best college experience (lived at home, COVID, worked 2 jobs) so was hoping going to the office would allow me to meet people and become a bit more outgoing. But not so sure if this would work in a remote job. Thoughts?

Not just out of college but I was in a remote job previously and transitioned to a in-office job few months ago. Was best decision I made - remote can be nice for certain things but I need the social interaction, being around people, happy hour, etc.

I've been remote since September 2020 and I've absolutely loved it. But that's always been my preference. I know lots of people and I go to all the connectivity events so thats when you really get to know people anyway imo

I went through the same thing in college, covid, remote college, and back surgery. I’ve found working 90% remote is fantastic and I’ve still been able to maintain great work relationships but I find most of my social engagement from making time for hobbies that allow me to meet people with similar interests. That’s been the balance for me the last 2 years

Your social life doesn’t have to be dependent on your work environment. You can still achieve that being remote. Just don’t tie every waking second to your job. But I agree with you at the same time about being in the office.

I have been almost fully remote since graduating in 2019. My first job was hybrid and I developed work friendships but we all left the company and all live in different cities so we keep in touch but don’t really hang out anymore. Now I am fully remote and I like my co workers, I think I would find friends in the company if I was on-site but they don’t need me there. I love working remote but I will say, being on-site is a bonus for meeting people.

So long story short if a goal is to make friends or develop tight knit relationships with your co workers look for a hybrid job so you can have the best of both worlds!

I'm at a point where the salary I'm getting is disrespectfully low for all the work I do. Should I ask for a raise? And if so, how do I go about asking without sounding greedy.

Have a crush on my co-worker. He asked me out to go rock climbing one-on-one after we were texting for a while and I acted awkwardly when we went because I didn’t know if it was a date (nothing was explicitly said). Now I’m stuck in this weird limbo state where things have fizzled out but I’m re-reading texts and think he might’ve actually had a crush too and I pushed him away. Ambiguity sucks.

Perspective: monogamy is anti-human nature; in this era where each parent could raise a kid independently, marriage tends to be a shackle on many aspects of life. We live once, why does society expect us to live with 1 person for 60+ years? No wonder divorce rates are through the roof!
