Pearl Jimenez · Answer

I work remotely, but I can go to the office with my colleagues. I like to go to the office if, for example, there are questions that take much longer to explain online and it is much more convenient to do it in the office. Therefore, I am definitely in favor of the office, but with the possibility of staying at home for a day or two and working from bed.

Answer

You can save your commute time for other things, but you will have less communication with the company and the working atmosphere will be weakened
