As a 20 year remote employee across multiple companies...in my experience, this is true depending on one's definition of career. If you want to advance high in the company, remote is going to stifle you unless the entire company is remote. And even then something as small as skipping an offsite or keeping your cam off will stifle you. Humans like connection, apparently.

My own career progress was much slower and topped out lower than (in my enlightened opinion) much less qualified folks in office.

That said, it's a tradeoff. I -still- wouldn't move to work in office knowing this. I value my family, time, and lifestyle I'm able to afford in a place I want to be more than making tons of money.

In another 10 or 20 years I'm half sure I'll run the numbers and regret that, but so far so good.
