> People who love remote work seem to be senior, well established employees
Being a senior dev also enables you to act almost fully autonomous, making you capable of carrying out a lot of stuff from idea to execution. Its naturally conducive to remote work.
> But remote work was isolating and lonely, mentorship went to zero
That's the one downside of remote work - one has to amp up interactions via online collaboration tools and also non-work social interactions.
> it has caused me a lot of stress realizing that remote work is never going away.
Take heart - you can eventually make remote work work out, or a mixture of hybrid that you prefer. Then the benefits outweigh the disadvantages a lot. Even being able to avoid the commute is a major win.
