  • Industry Preference: Different verticals come with different types of companies and sales motions.

Can I Work Remote? | Video + Guide

Can I work Remote?
FAQ Video

June 3, 2025

Summary

Many young professionals today aspire to land remote jobs, seeking flexibility and autonomy. While remote roles are available, it’s crucial to recognize that starting a career in an office environment can provide foundational skills essential for long-term success. Particularly for new graduates and those not based in major metropolitan areas, being open to in-office roles could significantly expand job opportunities and accelerate professional development.

Key Takeaways

            • Remote jobs are available but may not be ideal for entry-level professionals.

            • In-office environments offer critical learning experiences and professional mentorship.

            • Geographical location matters; remote roles are often concentrated in major metro areas.

            • Flexibility in job preferences can broaden your employment prospects.

Pros and Cons of Remote Work for Young Professionals

Pros

  • Greater flexibility and work-life balance.

  • Opportunities to work for companies located anywhere.

  • Reduced commute time and costs.

Cons

  • Limited face-to-face mentorship and networking.

  • Harder to learn workplace etiquette and communication skills remotely.

  • Potential isolation and lack of team integration.

Why In-Office Experience Matters Early in Your Career

Being physically present in a professional office environment fosters soft skills that are harder to develop remotely. For young professionals, in-office roles provide:

  • Mentorship: Learning directly from experienced colleagues.

  • Networking: Building relationships that can advance your career.

  • Professional Development: Observing and adapting to workplace norms and communication styles.

Starting your career in an office can lay a strong foundation that benefits you even if you transition to remote work later.

Many young people want to work remote. We have remote jobs available. However, my belief—and this depends on you as a person because everybody’s different—if you’re older, you’ve got a mortgage, you’ve got a family, I understand that you can’t relocate.

If you are young, right out of uniform, and you don’t live in an NFL city or a big metro, it is going to be harder to find a job remote than it is to go into an office at least a few times a week. So yes, we have remote roles, but my experience has told me—and the reason I am sitting in this seat and in the position I am—is because my first job was in the office, around other people who taught me how to be a human being and taught me how to be a professional in the business world.

The truth is that only being open to remote roles is 100% absolutely going to limit the number of companies that you’ll be able to interview with and get hired at. 

Full stop.
