> I was working remotely before the pandemic and will continue to work remotely in the future. It's great that we have more opportunities now than before, but they always existed. So what the "mainstream" or "big tech" world does in current year is their own business. I've been remote since 2015 and, arguably, it's made it harder.

The RTO backlash is also in force, so the big F500 companies I used to snipe roles from are now fully owned by corporate overlords.
