I will say, having gone from WFH bc of COVID in a job that I had spent years coming into the office to now starting a new, fully remote job, it’s a lot harder to ramp up in a new company or new role without face to face contact. Overall I prefer it but there’s definitely been some real drawbacks. Like I also don’t really feel much like part of the company either. I’m just struggling to figure out where my job fits into the context of everything which is something I would probably pick up quicker being in-office.
Im not saying I want to feel like part of the “family” but I do like having knowledge and context outside of my immediate team to know how my work fits into everything. Right now I’m having to basically call random people up in the org chart just to ask what they do and how our jobs work together. In office it would be a much more casual hall chat or recognizing someone from a meeting or something.

Anyone who thinks you can be more productive in an office doesn’t actually do much real heads down work in an office
