Working remotely for the first time? What has that experience been like for you?
I think it has been a both rewarding and challenging experience to work remotely. I have enjoyed the flexibility to work my own hours and take breaks when I feel like it. My daily check-in meetings with my manager were super helpful and I got to learn a lot. I would have liked more opportunities to bond with other colleagues and interns in the office.
