I think this is heavily life-and-career-stage dependent IMO.

If you're young, early career, and don't have dependents, you should absolutely prioritize in-office.

Otherwise, the calculus varies.

Yes. I'm in my 30s now but I can't imagine having started my career out of college with a full time remote position. But quick feedback from mentors and osmosis won't work if senior engineers are all remote.

Bingo. I'm a big WFH person, but I'm old and have all those other things now. A young person just starting out should absolutely try to be in the main office every day.

I've worked remotely for around 12 years and love it (it's even better now that I have kids) I had a good 10 years in the office, when I was starting out.
