Does working remotely ever get lonely? Particularly extroverts? I actually decided against a job that sounded great cause I was concerned that I would hate working remotely. I don't think I've ever seen anyone commenting that remote didn't work for them though

I didn’t love working 100% remote. Like you, I was lonely and felt out of the loop with the office and culture. I’m an extrovert, and thrive on social interaction.
We have ~25 people working full-time remote and all in single-person home-offices. Extroverts generally thrive with more effective communication. I’d only be wary of joining a remote position at a company where that wasn’t common already.

Reason being, it’s as much responsibility on the company to ensure remote positions are a success as on you. We buy high-end AV equipment, force comms onto Slack, record meetings, set random 1:1s, and trained the _HQ employees_ to work better with remote people.

That makes so much sense!

100%! The culture has to support remote, and it often times doesn’t in the way that folks need, even with communication and expectations alone.
