In my opinion and to a first approximation, this is a bad idea. The technical experience gained in a person's first professional setting have a massive impact on a person's technical development over the course of their career. I think of Peter Norvig going to work for Margret Hamilton. That's the other aspect. Working in an office expands one's professional network more usefully than remote work ever can...Norvig la…
Makes me sad to read this as my first job didn't have any great technical mentor like that, but was a bunch or regular devs trying to ship a run of the mill product. How can a grad tell they are going to work for a top company that is great for their career within a good team? Especially if outside the US so not necessarily just going to work for Google.
Anyway, regular devs shipping regular product is, to me, a better first job than remote work for most people. The people for whom remote work right out of school is less likely to be detrimental are probably people who were banging out open source or side projects while in school...i.e. those with a strong established independent habit.
