Comment on Ask HN: Fired from first job, now what?parent

Second that - this will be a great story in 5 years. Just try to shrug it off and go for a second job. You have more experience now. I recommend not doing remote work as a junior. You can learn much more in-person and will get more feedback on your work.

Exactly. Just being hired once brings you a step ahead of other fresh grads.

I second the recommendation against remote work at this career stage. My first tech job was (and it still kinda is) remote with a very hands off boss and I managed to burn myself out with very little work and acquire one hell of a procrastination/anxiety problem. Got moved to part-time maintenance with the expected pay cut and I'm slowly getting better now.

Of course, my story is a worst case scenario, but it's good to know how sideways things can go.
