Myself, 6 months remote after 8 years in an office. I like it a lot. But I figure it depends on the person. My friend who thought he was fine as a loner hates it. He has no nearby friends or family.

I love it. I never liked water cooler talk or the people at the office but I saw value in it since being antisocial wasn't good for my career.

Now that I'm remote, there's much less politics/drama. I imagine in other companies it could be a problem that there was politics you don't get to keep abreast of, but I suppose I am lucky. I am measured more by my output than by my smile and/or on-the-spot responses.

I have more time for my family, I get all the household chores done during the work week and free up my nights and weekends. I don't think I'll go back to an office if I can help it.
