The question was to get a better sense of the range of how people value the benefit of working remotely. If some folks are only willing to come back into the office for 3x (say high-six figures for US devs) that's helpful information regardless of whether the local labor market actually ends up requiring in-person employers to pay that much. My experience so far has been that the average multiplier is smaller, closer to ~1.2x for many software engineers. I suspect many companies would be willing and able to pay 1.5x for in-person developers but I think you're right that significantly fewer would be willing or able to pay 2x or 3x.
