You can't relate to new people in the company? It is hard to read you here. You sound from this that you have a very specific idea of your job role where your adaption is to leave.

I can't relate to a requirement for being "noticed and recognized for who you really are by new people" as a reason to work in the office. I'd be surprised if most employees really know each other anyway. I'd be even more surprised if that was somehow important to job function for most jobs.

For most jobs maybe that's true, but many startups strive to be better than that and more than just job function and day-to-day.

Personally I find a business where people know each other fairly well and understand how each other operates is preferable over one where I am only considered for my "job function;" so I can relate. But perhaps I am just idealistic.

" many startups strive to be better than that" Better than what? Are you implying that an environment where forming close personal relationships with coworkers is a requirement is distincly "better"?

Perhaps in your case, as described in your last paragraph, you would find that to be better for you. But I don't think it is undeniably better in all cases, for all people.

Many startups are actually remote only and I don't think they would accept that they are somehow inferior for it.
