I agree with you and feel WFH is very liberating mentally. My biggest concern is career progression. In the office, it's easy to jump into conversations where you form connections with your coworkers, and find out who are the decision makers, gurus, and informal sources of information. I joined my company after the lockdown started, so have not met any of my coworkers face-to-face, and I feel that not being able to tap into those threads of information is going to leave me out of the loop.
- blunte 6y agoCareer progression process depends a lot on the type of company you're in. If it's a company that goes to the trouble to define career progression paths and have managers periodically discuss them with subordinates, then you should have a roadmap already. I haven't encountered these places much in my career, however. If your department uses some team chat system, check to see what channels are available. There might be channels for topics of interest to you where you could join and gradually become interactive, thereby making yourself known. This can be especially valuable if you start writing a tech blog or occasionally making some tech demo projects on github - you can share those with your department (perhaps in the guise of requesting feedback), and it will help raise your visibility.
