Well, at this point, for a lot of roles, the choice between never going into an office, or attending a meeting, or taking a business trip does involve pretty severe career tradeoffs. I'm on a distributed team and travel is pretty locked down because of budgets but I still don't really have the flexibility to say I'm not leaving my house (If I wanted to, which I don't).

It’s a trade-off for sure. There are companies where you can be successful without in-person events, but that’s not going to be every company or remote team. I’m comfortable with the trade-off. I’m an extrovert, and I miss meeting people I work with regularly (even though I’ve always disliked travel). Unfortunately, putting my feelings aside, a sober analysis of the state of Covid right now has me convinced that it’s still really really worth avoiding as much as possible.
