I'm the rare person who like to work from the office (some of the time). I like seeing my coworkers, learning about their lives, and enjoying war stories. I'm not getting that where I work currently since it's full remote. This normally wouldn't be two bad, but I didn't get to see folks during the pandemic and I've been working in this position for two years and haven't seen a single team member in person since I started. All I get is seeing people during standup, but there's no time to dilly dally there.
I'm caught between a rock and a hard place here, either I stay and work on the coolest project ever, or I leave get a pay cut, work on a boring project, but see people again. (I've been told team meetups, even once a year, are not possible)
Using a throw away account so that my coworkers don't find out I'm contemplating leaving. (My regular HN profile is my LDAP and I have a very unique last name)
