Counterpoint: If you're working from home it might be the only people contact you get for days.

Supposedly talking to people and touching grass is healthy.

My fear of working full-remote. I mean I got enough friends, but still that's significant less social time, when not being in something like a coworking space... Although other benefits are really tempting (like 2 to 3 times the salary)

Wait, you earn more to not commute?

I mean I can just take a job in the states, they pay quite a bit more there compared to Europe, and it can be even more targeted in the area of my interest (low-level stuff in Rust which pays even better than what I can find here)... Locally the jobs are pretty limited (at least those that interest me)... Everyone wants Java/C# or JS devs here (all languages I'll try to avoid, and I suspect it has to do with maintaining old (tech-debt) code-bases which I try to avoid even more)... But I'm quite happy with my team currently and just have rant about JS everyday, but at least don't have to maintain tech-debt (at least not something that I haven't produced myself^^)... And I get great food for free... Hmm trade-offs.

Hmm, are they finally hiring internationally? Americans are historically funny about that.

I mean at least the jobs that interest me often are also (full) remote, but I'm mostly interested in start-ups, they seem to be more open with it (and the job descriptions sound more interesting). I think Covid did its job there, unlike it seems for big tech?
