Working remote is for adults with established social structures, skill sets, and maturity. It’s not the ideal environment to start your career. What’s interest

  Agreed, a lot more effort needs to be put into supporting people just starting out in companies that are remote. Too often seen it as a complete after thought. I’ve been remote for most of the last 10 years but nearly all of my first 3-4 years was onsite in public service/government positions. I was lucky enough to be in an environment where giving time to younger staff was the norm and expected. I haven’t seen this level of support again since going to private industry sadly.

  When you put it like that it sounds like you're saying that people who prefer to work in an office don't have established social structures, skill sets, nor maturity. Is that the point you are making?

    No, I’m saying to work successfully remotely, you usually need those attributes. That’s not to say you can’t have those attributes and prefer working in an office. I’m speaking about characteristics of people at successful fully-remote orgs who feel fulfilled in their careers. They aren’t getting meaningful socialization from work so they need it on their own terms.
