I've been working remotely for 10 years. Well before Covid.
The only reason I ever wanted to work remotely is so I could juggle my side businesses and work at the same time, without wasting any commute time or using company equipment. When I first started out, it was so I could travel around Asia for a couple of years.
Now, it allows me to spend more time with my family. I see my daughter all throughout the day and it's great.
The downsides are that you just don't get those close relationships with co-workers. If you need that social aspect of work, it will be very difficult (and possibly depressing).
