Started remote a few months before the pandemic. Also started out my career in tech working remotely. In my current situation, I don't imagine ever returning and feel grateful for the opportunity to wrest back more control over my life and circumstances that would usually have been dictated to suit my employer. For me, remote work gives me _far_ more time, energy etc to invest in myself and family which is why I work in the first place. Not only that, but the chance to work for an employer in a remote capacity greatly diminishes the urge I have felt to go the consultancy route etc. There are a lot of habits and work processes instilled in us from having to report to hq every day but for a lot of people we are already emerging on the other side of replacing those arcane processes with modern internet native approaches. This will force a lot of change on people in terms of how we socialize and it is a major change, with major upside imo.
