I've worked remotely and I've worked in-house and I currently work a mix of the two but only because my current company's office is quite far away from where I live.
With ten year professional experience in software in my rearview mirror I gotta say that by working remotely fulltime you miss out on so much. To be your best you really do need to be in the office collaborating and practicing your people skills. Your people skills are like any other skill, they must be practiced and sharpened each day and you really must be in the office in a professional environment to work on them. I understand life is complicated and sometimes just making a paycheque has to be enough but imo you're letting a part of you wither doing fulltime remote.

- jcroll 9y agoSaying you're introverted is like saying you enjoy reading more than being active. Both are healthy and liking one more than the other is not an excuse not to make sure you do both regularly.
- throwawayfoo 9y agoEnjoying an activity is not equitable to one's nature.
- jcroll 9y agoOh it's in your nature to be an anti social dork in a basement? Unfortunate for you!
- watwut 9y agoIf introvert foes not communicate with people, his (or her if you must) social/people skills will go down. Realization that they wither away or that they are useful has nothing to do with introversion or extrovertion.
