The career playbook for someone in their 20s right now should be the exact opposite of what it was in 2020.
The workers who thrived in remote environments during the pandemic were already experienced. They had the skills, the networks, and the institutional knowledge.
But entry-level workers, those building careers remotely, have developed more slowly, been promoted less, and are facing a market that increasingly demands in-person availability.
New Fed research reveals that remote work is a primary driver of higher unemployment among workers in their 20s. Entry-level workers isolated behind screens are developing slower and being promoted less.
Complex skill acquisition requires proximity. You need the micro-moments of observing how experienced leaders navigate problems.
If you are early in your career, take the in-office job. Take the commute. Accumulate the institutional knowledge. Negotiate your flexibility from a position of proven competence, not as a day-one demand.
Flexibility is a great reward, but is it worth trading away your foundational career growth?
