I've never had a WFH job and I generally don't think I'd personally want/be successful with one. My sister is fully remote and she actually hates it, but I think its more the job she doesn't like than the WFH aspect. She says its lonely and isolating on top of disliking her daily tasks. I'm not anti WFH for others at all, to absolutely clear.

Yes. I had a hybrid position pre COVID that was 2/3 days a week home at alternating weeks, due to a lack of available desks in our office building. That was always nice when I worked from home. I enjoyed doing laundry during the day and being able to stop work and immediately get to switch off, as opposed to the days in office where I'd deal with driving home and traffic.

I switched to a fully in office job when Covid hit, and our office when fully remote. Other than training and onboarding, I haven't been required in office since. I love remote work. I won't go back unless I have absolutely no other choice
