> I've been told team meetups, even once a year, are not possible Look, if you really love the environment except for this remote thing, here's a couple things you can do before you quit: 1. Earnestly say that you love the place, but getting some mixed purpose face time with coworkers is a make or break issue for you. If you convey that you really mean that (you seem to), and they think you're a good fit too, they may revisit what they told you above. Think of it as a salary renegotiation, but you're looking for an essential benefit rather than a raise. 2. Just suck up the cost and organize those "meetups" yourself (i.e. make plans with your coworkers privately). Here, if you wanted to, you can think of the cost as a deduction from your salary. Do you still feel well-enough paid once you account for that deduction?
