Something in between works best for me. Right now, I'm in a totally open environment with neighbors who play radio music and are on the phone all day. It's either put headphones on, which I can't tolerate on my head for hours at a time, or try and ignore them, which doesn't work if I really need to focus. I'd really prefer remote, but not every company's culture has caught up to that yet and if a company is not "remote-first" then as a remote worker you might end up getting left behind.
