My son is 2 years into his Business/CompSci degree and already has lots of summer work experience. He’s got an internship offer from Amazon and one from GoDaddy. He just declined GoDaddy because it’s only remote, and for a new aspiring developer, he thinks it’s important to be around other developers/teams to learn norms and gain “osmotic” experience. Amazon is on-site. With all the attention on WFH over the past 2 years in the tech space, what do you think of his rationale? Could this be what a lot of young developers are feeling?
