I suspect you're asking whether you'll regret taking a job for a local company with an option to work remotely rather than holding out for a more "tech" focused company that enables better networking opportunities?

Why would you hold out if you're uncertain? Or are you hesitant you won't like it?

Who says you can't test the waters for a few months while looking for other remote opportunities?

I don't know what's important to you but I'd ask that first. Remote opportunities abound; there weren't this many remote opportunities 10 years ago. Find what works you and don't be afraid of change. You can always relocate when your personal life settles or you may decide not to.

Company is good, I did an internship there (not remote). So I'm not holding out for something better. But When I start I'll have the option to work from the office or work remotely.

Question more relates to the trade-offs of taking the opportunity to gain experience working remotely. I've heard remote jobs are more commonly offered to people with several years of work experience, so this is a chance to jump start the process.
