Some people have been working remote for much longer than the past few years. They are doing fine.

Maybe it depends on the nature of your work, but I think remote working revealed to everyone how much office "networking" was always kinda delusional.

For sure, networking is important, but I have never found opportunities talking to the same people in my fishbowl. It was almost impossible to talk to the right people within the organization in person, and cornering them is not a great first impression. Reaching out to them on Teams is a whole different ball game, and one that I think more people are good at. Getting the right attention from the right people is also easier in large group chats.

Apart from that, working remote is not strictly at home. There's a whole wide world out there to meet people and find opportunity.
