Well, the Covid years have proven/confirmed to my satisfaction that software development occurs just fine outside of a shared office. However, I've done what boomers were asked to do and gave up my position... If I was still in the market, I would be looking to avoid moving. When younger, we moved, but not always to places we wanted to stay. This put a time limit on the job which was frustrating, resulting in later moves. We were unable to find a place in N America where we could remain while switching jobs. The risk of specialization I guess. I would think people should think hard on where they want to live (for themselves, for their partner and any family). Depending on the answer to this, remote work or mixed work should suggest itself. A lot depends on your personal ethics and politics and what you think of hot/cold weather. Some, I have heard, actually like big cities :-).
