I think this will ultimately lead to a bifurcation of workplaces into remote-first and office-first (a divide which already existed, but was probably 5% vs 95% pre-pandemic), and this diversity will be a good thing. Some company cultures are better adapted to remote working, while others stand to benefit more from in-person, and the same thing can be said for individuals. People who thrive more in one than the other will gravitate toward companies whose remote/office emphasis matches their preference, and recruiters will start considering it, too.
