I've been fully remote for 6 years. I know people who's primary criteria for their next job is that it be in person. I think remote work is here to stay and there are so many people who are discovering that remote work is their preference thanks to the pandemic, but I don't think in person work is going to die, there are also lots of people that prefer that. I know that I made a lot of my first friends in SF at work and that would have been impossible if I had worked remote then. How that plays out at companies remains to be seen. I can imagine big companies divvying up workers by team. Some remote teams some in person teams. Smaller companies will likely need to make a more total choice. Acting like there are no benefits to in person work is silly. One of the first things we did as a company going remote was to say that if anyone is on zoom in a meeting then everyone in the meeting needs to be on zoom even if many were physically in the same place. I don't think anyone would ever choose to sit in a conference room with 5 other people all on zoom together. Everything is tradeoffs. Remote work just got a huge profile boost which is going to give a lot of people the opportunity to live life differently from how they did before. Now the pendulum is swinging back but it'll never get as far as it did before.
