I’ve never had a WFH job and I generally don’t think I’d personally want/be successful with one. My sister is fully remote and she actually hates it, but I think its more the job she doesn’t like than the WFH aspect. She says its lonely and isolating on top of disliking her daily tasks. I’m not anti WFH for others at all, to absolutely clear.

    Somewhat, but it also scares me.

    I know that I’m very introverted. I like to go “heads down” writing code all day. However I’m also painfully aware from experience that not talking to others means I’m out of the loop and soon I’m developing great code for something the company doesn’t need. I need to spend time in the office listening to others talk - I get much less done, but at least what I get done are things the company cares about, and in turn I’m much more likely to keep my job (having to find a new job is one of the worst things that can happen to an introvert - I have to convince strangers to hire me)

    Right now I go to the office about 16 hours a week, which seems to be enough. I also live close enough to work that I can ride my bike - in turn commute time is also exercise time, something I need to get more of anyway.
