Would it be hindering on my social development/career development if I took a remote job for my first job out of college? Ideally I would like to go in person a few times a week but this is the first firm that has given me an offer.

In person will offer more learning opportunities. I've been 99% remote since I graduated in 2019, but I'm looking for a new job where I can travel and co-locate with teammates. I believe travel and going into an office are more difficult and less desirable, but are really good for people in the long run. Just my 2 cents.

I took my first job as a remote and it is harder than being in person but totally doable. You have to be more persistent about reaching out to try to help and learn than in person I think. Also I’d recommend if ever offered an opportunity to do anything in person to go with the remote job.

No remote or in person doesn't really matter. Questions I'd ask instead... Does the offer and work interest you? Does it set you up to gain skills and experience you need later on? Is the company culture and brand strong?

Then take it but be mindful and intentional about building connections and if possible meeting co workers downtown (if that's an option). Building friendships virtually is definitely possible and setting up 1:1s just to network is fine.

I’m talking more about from a social perspective. I want to work in person some days since I didn’t have the best college experience and want to meet new young people in my city.

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
