So imagine this very common scenario. You've just graduated college where you had group activities of all sorts, lived with people, etc. Get a job offer. And you don't even need to go into an office!

So now you're working out of your small apartment. Maybe you have a housemate or two for better or worse. Besides maybe an onsite meeting or two, you only know your colleagues and manager by messaging and video call. There's no luncheon chit-chat. No softball league. No after-work beers. No random hallway conversations. No impromptu conversations with your manager.

I work pretty much fully remote now by choice and I'm very good with that. I can't really imagine having done it early in my career.
