Fix virtual coffee catchups with your teammates as a start. Idk what firm you are in but in mine there’s a very strong culture of informal coffee meetings.
Start with seniors on I’m your project / beach assignments. Try to take up some co-curricular activities and use that again to get to know more people. Attend firm events and find common ground with people there. Eg if you like what someone said just drop them a note saying “hey I really resonated with your point about xyz , was wondering if i can have a coffee with you to get to know you more ...”
last option is always cold calling. Can try going through a middleman in that case.

Anyone that is WFH but rents a small office space to work from?

Joining a big firm next week as fully remote lateral and flying out to home office for orientation. The schedule has me in office until 4:15. I’ve already been told I won’t have any actual work. Depending on how many people are there and how it feels, I was planning to stay an hour extra but should I hang around the office until later? First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).
