I've never been "officially" remote but I've had quite a bit of flexibility for getting onto 20 years. At my current job, I did take it as an on-site position. It actually only missed out by about half a mile from being the nearest major tech office to my house.

Modulo a fair bit of travel, I did go in a fair bit at first. What basically happened is the people I work directly with became more and more distributed over time and then I had a new manager who works remote. So increasingly, it just didn't make sense for me to do the 30 minute or so commute.

I still go in now and then but I actually spend more time at other company locations than where my desk ostensibly is.
