I took a remote job for 18 months before leaving and getting a new job back in an office. For me personally, I found it great for the first 12 months, however over time it became obvious that the company wasn't structured well for remote work and I couldn't get anything meaningful done. I loved all the extra time working from home gave me, but I finished every day feeling like I was wasting my life in a room at home and not achieving anything. This was largely due to the organisation itself, but I also found that working remote created an extra barrier to trying to fix that company's culture. So I quit and went back to working face to face with people. Since then I've found it easier to push for changes and influence people, process etc now that I'm back working face to face. I do miss the WFH lifestyle though and think I'd be happiest in a hybrid model.
