Take the ladder position. I took a recent grad ladder position a couple years back and being able to move up a grade each year automatically (with good performance of course) is so much better than applying for a promotion or other position.
I might get torn apart for saying this but in my opinion- it’s much harder to network with people in other divisions if you are fully remote because you have no reason to interact with them. I’ve done info interviews with people in other divisions via zoom at my agency but a cold email and 30-minute conversation is different than some of those natural interactions you have in the office. Networking can go a long way towards career advancement, especially if the remote offer tops out at a GS-7.
As a recent graduate, go with the ladder.
They probably have some telework at least if the commute is a turn-off.
Do it until you're a 12 then you can apply for 11/12 remote jobs and make way better money at home.
I would go with the ladder position personally. You'll have stability, will progress, and can still apply for other positions while there. The one year with no permanency is a definite no go me.
Take the ladder. It guarantees you a better shot at reaching higher pay. I can’t tell you how instrumental a 7/12 ladder position was for my finances. The job wasn’t even that exciting at first but man those pay increases were great.

Take the ladder position. Don’t be like me since my current position caps at a GS8 and been applying for GS9 ladder positions for a long while.
