This may be a hot take, but I don't think most juniors should be remote. You need some time face to face to understand the processes and you miss lot of passive knowledge when you're not navigating a workplace of people discussing matters.

once you get a few years under the belt, sure. You're probably fine doing everything online. I can't think of many remote only studios hiring juniors anyways.

100% agree and that's exactly what we do. Almost all of our juniors are near the office. Because they need to see what's working at a company means at least once in their life.

There's few exception when we don't have the choice, but really, I cannot imagine myself to be full remote without having seen a company "in the flesh" before.
