WFH is nirvana for me - married dad living exactly where I always wanted to, paying less than half my city rent on a <3% mortgage.
But let's be honest - when I was in my 20s it was the people I met in the office and at work-adjacent activities that fueled the social and romantic aspects of my life. I can't imagine not having those experiences and just dialing-in at 24 or 25 from my Brooklyn neighborhood where I knew nobody and didn't fit in.
Life is different today, there may be way more ways of connecting outside of work, but I'm not sure they are actually drop-in replacements for connecting in the office.
