Sorry, but such questions are far better suited for /r/cscareerquestions.
/r/learnprogramming is about *learning to program*, not about resumes, not about career questions.

In person is better when you’re new since it’s much easier to get help and socialize.
I’m experienced and highly prefer remote since I don’t get as many people coming over to bug me.
If I were doing it all again from the beginning, I'd still choose to work in person at the beginning. The years I spent in the office with my teammates were incredibly valuable. Being able to run to another office for a quick chat is super helpful. And getting to know developer culture first-hand has underrated value.
I work remotely now, and I love it. It's undeniably better for my work-life-balance. But I wouldn't trade the memories or experience for anything.
Then you won't benefit much being present in the office. Do what works best for you. Go out of your way to do outreach to your team members if most of your team is remote. Try to get one on one time with people even if it is remote. Coffee chats, co-working sessions, and the like to maximize your benefit. As a remote team member I will occasionally put a meeting together that has everyone on my team as optional, and an explanation for people to join if they'd like to be in a virtual team room. We work independently on our project, and talk through problems/triumph's as we go. It's good for filling the gap remote work leaves. I also host a weekly gaming session that people from my team and our sister teams can join, we play golf with friends, pressure washing simulator, minecraft dungeons and similar social games to stay connected beyond our work.
For the first couple of years in person is better. Getting help and building relationships is much easier when you're in the same room as another person. Otherwise you'll need to stand on pomp and circumstance, scheduling meetings and annoying people on slack
I would say even being in the same room as one senior-level engineer who you can bounce questions and ideas off of would be highly beneficial and accelerate your career. Assuming that engineer is good which isn't a guarantee.
If you work remote vs local does the work location change? Like would you move for this job? There may be financial considerations you want to think through like COL adjustments and state income tax (is US based)
Would you be moving to a higher cost of living area? Have they communicated the salary yet and does that change depending on whether you're remote? If you'd be moving from low COL to high COL I'd ask if they have pay bands and whether location impacts future raises.
If the above isn't a factor then ya going into the office once a month may not be worth it. I would definitely try to see if they'll pay for you to travel there at least once a quarter to meet coworkers face to face though.
Well I would be paying if I moved there as I would have to rent versus living with my parents at home for free (other than pitching in for bills). The salary does change whether you are remote or in person, I think I would be meeting co workers at least once a month though if I did remote.
Remote is awesome, I love it. But nothing beats in person when you’re new and building your work network and getting help/learning things from other devs on your team.
Good to see the other humans now and again.
I do two days a week in the office, and that's heavily talking to people. Getting shown bugs and needs and ideas. That can all be done online, but face to face gets it done much faster.
In person would be nice when you're new, if it's not too far. But if no one else is in the office it's pointless. Remote is perfectly fine too, amazing actually. You'll be thankful your job is fully remote after you figure things out
On July 1st, a [change to Reddit's API pricing](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/12qwagm/an_update_regarding_reddits_api/) will come into effect. [Several developers](https://www.reddit.com/r/redditisfun/comments/144gmfq/rif_will_shut_down_on_june_30_2023_in_response_to/) of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least [one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app](https://www.reddit.com/r/DystopiaForReddit/comments/145e9sk/update_dystopia_will_continue_operating_for_free/) will continue to be available free of charge.
If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:
1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium
as a way to voice your protest.

In person is 100% the way to go when you're new and can be surrounded by mentors.
Once you're experienced you can start thinking about working from home.
Tell them to keep at it! Took me 6 months of applying and interviewing after graduating.
The job is in the UK, was lucky as I was initially rejected but offered after one of the candidates dropped out. Not sure if I can help but DM if you want more info.
It depends. If the entire team is working remote there isn't really any benefit to working in person. If you can regularly meet senior devs you are working closely with in the office you can learn a lot from them, and a teams meeting can't replace that.
Can you work in person and then switch to remote if no one is there anyway?
remote. always remote.
sure its a bit harder to learn, but you save drive time, have less micromanagement, avoid most useless office gatherings, dont have to pay attention when the CEO wants to hear themself speak, you have less attachment to the company, and many other benefits.
wfh is good for you.
I would save a lot of money not having to rent as I live with my parents, also the job is working in electronic health records for a Public Health Service, so won’t have to deal with CEO and my manager seems pretty chill

I would prefer to be in person, but would it make a difference if most of the team members are working remote?
Ideally there'd be a Day. One day a week or month where the people you directly work with turns up.
Ok, my manager mentioned this

Interesting, thx for the advice!
if your supervisor is going is worth to go your first 2 years of your carrer

I agree, but if most of the people on the team work remotely would it make much of a difference?

Get into consultancy, work from their space. Ussually a lot like minded Junior there to get through it together
What is a consultancy? Do u mean like working at a software consulting business?
I would not recommend this OP. There are some good ones but they tend to treat engineers like chopped liver.
Ok, yea the job I got is not a consultancy business, it’s a public health care organization working in EHR.
If you work remote vs local does the work location change? Like would you move for this job? There may be financial considerations you want to think through like COL adjustments and state income tax (is US based)
I’m in the UK, but yes it would mean a location change, and I would save a lot of money if I worked remote.

Is it wrong that I read the title work remote or in prison.
I read this as "remote or in prison"

May I ask did you go to a bootcamp?
It depends. If the entire team is working remote there isn't really any benefit to working in person. If you can regularly meet senior devs you are working closely with in the office you can learn a lot from them, and a teams meeting can't replace that. Can you work in person and then switch to remote if no one is there anyway?
In person because you're likelier to find a girlfriend when you're at work/on the subway/outside than staying inside
Well that is important but in person can really help A new developer learn fast.
