A user mentioned enjoying their remote job but facing pressure from friends and family about its long-term impact. A feature that allows users to provide feedback on their remote job satisfaction could help others in similar situations.
So im a junior and for the last 7 months have been working at a small fully remote company. Overall i have been loving it. I love working remote, i am still learning alot through daily standups, constant code reviews and the courses they pay for and make me take. My team is great and salary is decent. Basically i have 0 complaints. But my friends and parents keep saying how remote sucks, how you will get lonely, how i am not building a network and how its stopping my career growth. On the flip side working remote has allowed me to have free time to play tennis and lose weight, to work on this small business idea with my friends thats starting to make some money and it also spared me all the corporate BS and drama you get in an office. I dont know what to do. They are starting to get in my head. Should i actually consider trying to find another job that is not remote or should i just keep doing my current job since im already happy and learning. Any thoughts?
