I think it very much depends on where you live. I live in a suburb of a medium sized city that is not a tech hub so WFH is a top priority for me. I don't want to have to uproot my family and move for a job. If I already lived in a NYC or SF I could completely understand. With WFH though I am able to pay mid city suburb housing prices while working for a company in Manhattan and getting NYC pay.
Most of the tech jobs are in an area of town that is an hour commute each way so no way I am going to do that. End up leaving for work at 8 and not getting home until 6 or 6:30. With WFH I can actually dedicate exactly 40 hours a week to work and no more. Plus get away with it.
So for my WFH is the number 1 item. Pay is top as well but if I cant WFH or have to move then the pay doesn't really matter.
Although I would absolutely love to have a local office I could go into once or twice a week.
