I have a question. Is it okay to go for remote in early career? There was a discussion in Reddit, and people had suggested that during initial years lots of nurturing happens and it cannot be done via remote. And also it's effective to work under a mentor, physically, for a beginner. So basically they were against going for remote for an absolute beginner. How true is that with employers? (In my case, I have working experience of 10 months. Later I had to resign my job for some personal reasons. Soon I will be looking out for jobs. Should I consider remote or not?)

This is probably true. I've learned much working on-site as a product developer with older devs together. I worked part-time besides my bachelor degree. After that 1 year as freelancer and 2 years full-time. I also did a remote CS master degree, so I guess I can get stuff done without someone looking after me.

I think this is very true. Go work, spend as much time as you can learning in person. After a few years, you can work out an arrangement to work remotely.
