I just started my first SWE job and I'm having a similar realization. So much decision making needs to happen before anything is even considered worth working on. As a junior, I sit silently in a ton of meetings about things that I don't even know about, haha. When my direct superior assigns me something, I get it done, ask her questions if necessary, and move on to the next task.

This is why I like remote. I have no input on these meetings, so I can work instead of being a mushroom.
I like remote because I can work on my mushrooms during work hours
