Are there any ways to look for tech jobs which are more social and have more in person time?
I've considered going into hardware so I have to be physically present in a lab with other people, but is there another way?
It's not easy to find people who are personable but can also explain the underlying tech clearly to potential customers... and the best tech in the world isn't with a hill of beans if it isn't being used by sutomers. If your an inherently social, dependable and trustworthy person, I believe the sales part of it comes naturally.
A lot of consulting is technical planning and brainstorming with leadership. I used to have that kind of role, and you had a mix of heads-down work prototyping and heads-up work trying to understand requirements and think with different leaders on the best path forward.

Similar role to consulting above, but you're in house and often part of leadership...
I have seen hardware shops that are eerily quiet and sparsely populated, so being in an office is not a precursor for social interaction.
