I’m a cloud engineer working with a team across the US and a development team in India. My closest co-worker is my boss that brought me on-board and a quick 20 minute drive away. He’s the anomaly.
The next closest I believe would be 3 states away. If for some reason I was to be in an office, my day would literally be unchanged. It would be me working in the cloud (which isn’t location-dependent) and me on Teams/Zoom meetings with my co-workers.
If a job can be done remote, it’s dumb to require in-person work. This is doubly true if they wouldn’t see their co-workers face-to-face anyway.

I have 4 days from home and it’s heaven. I have a good salary too, although maybe I could get more if I was going for those consulting jobs where you sit at a customers office. But no way I’m ever doing that again.
I meet those consultants in team meetings and they are all dressed up, talking in a very “professional” way, acting like robots. I hope they are happy but I rather sit in my ordinary clothes at home and have a lot of free time before and after work. :)
