With more companies announcing mandatory return to office (RTO) policies, I’m curious — how are other developers handling the shift back to in-person work? Do you prefer working from the office, or are you still team WFH?

I recently accepted a new grad offer as a Software Engineer I, and starting soon, I’ll be commuting to the office 3-4 days a week in downtown. My past internships were all remote, so this is a large shift for me.

For those of you who have already worked in-office, I’d love to hear your advice on a few things:

• How do you handle the fatigue from commuting?
• If you’ve ever felt awkward or shy in the office, how did you overcome it?
• What’s typical attire like for engineering teams these days?
• Do you usually pack your lunch, or grab something near the office?

For those who work in-office or have a hybrid schedule, I’d really appreciate any tips on making the most of the experience. Thanks! 😊
