Discussion on: Are you most probably going to work fully remote?

[Lewis kori]

I always wanted to work remotely from college days. I got to work in an office environment for my internship before COVID and now working fulltime due to COVID-19, we have to WFH. Comparing the two. Reality vs Expectations 😅. I'd prefer the office environment. From a junior dev's point of view, it allows one to easily interact with senior devs and gain a lot from their mentorship. WFH feels like you become a nag when you keep calling or slacking all the time and this may hinder juniors from much-needed growth. Also working from home feels like I'm always working non-stop. Which begins to get irritating after sometime

Yep onsite is better for juniors and onboarding people in general. But you have a few advantages nevertheless:

• struggling to solve the problems yourself will make you a much better problemsolver long term in detriment of short term productivity
• your colleagues will most probably appreciate your questions and be helpful if you organize them and keep them to the point
• there's also no shame in asking for mentorship or pair programming sessions from more senior colleagues
