I've been lucky enough to work remotely since the inception of my career (10 years now) and I was afraid I might miss the whole office culture if I continue on untill the covid pandemic happened.
Companies showed that it's possible to have great office culture even remotely. My company started food/drinks tasting events, small pockets of communities developed around hobbies like video-games and slack got a complete revamp. It has been a real joy!
Right now I'm not sure I don't see any benefits of working in an office other than:
* Sense of inherit accomplishment: I sat here for 8 hours == I did things. Which is of course kinda silly but remote suffers from accomplishment perception issues since you don't have that office sacrifice that you can always fall back to.
* People are fun, and people are more fun in person! Especially in modern offices with ping-pong tables, bean bags and taco tuesdays.
