Remote Work Lifestyle, Productivity Hack or Career Risk?

With remote and hybrid work becoming more common, I’m curious how people in IB are actually navigating it.

Do you feel remote work improves focus and output, or does it hurt visibility and promotion chances?

Lifestyle-wise, it sounds great (no commute, better health, flexible schedule), but does being out of the office reduce deal exposure or mentorship opportunities?

For analysts and associates, especially, is remote work helping your performance, or quietly limiting your upside? Would love to hear real experiences.
