"While I definitely had more opportunities to network and hobnob with management while in the office, the reality is it didn't matter in the long run. My salary hasn't gone down since moving, and I save money on tolls, lunches, gas, and now especially rent which is pretty significant." I think being in the office can be very beneficial if you have the ability to talk to management and be viewed as some with potential for promotions. I have tried this but somehow I don't have the ability. My path was always to deliver stuff without needing much guidance. So now I am remote. I will probably not move up much but I have carved out nice niche for myself.
