Except the case when you are considerably cheaper than the people working at the desk next to your boss.

  I think it's actually the opposite and I'd be wary of moving remote full time quickly at the moment. The face time with your boss while the rest of the team is remote would be hugely beneficial to your career.

    Again, as I stated above...I've had the totally opposite experience. I've been promoted and survived layoffs multiple times while working 100% remote.

      I understand and certainly see where that could be the case, especially for steady-state companies. All I'm saying here is that in the context of the current situation, where you have companies transitioning from non-remote to remote, it's likely in your best interest to wait a bit while the company has to deal with how to evaluate/train/communicate with a mostly remote workforce. In the worst case you have to deal with the office for another year or so with no change. In the best case, you are better positioned for a promotion/raise. Either way, you will learn how others are managing remote work throughout the year. I'm on the long-term-remote path, but I want to see how this plays the rest of the year before making the jump.

        Nothing wrong with being cautious... While you're waiting, you might start planning _how_ you will work from home. A good home setup can make all the difference, and can involve expenses like good office chairs, desk, computer, upgraded internet service, etc. Might be a good time to look around the house what you need, where you're gonna put it, etc.
