All companies are returning to 5 days RTO, don't kid yourself. I would just bite the bullet and hold out at AMZN until the job market unfreezes and then jumpship then.

I'm in the UK and go to the office once or twice a week. I feel pretty lucky that our company is still very ok with remote work. But then, we're a smallish outfit and many of us put in a fair bit more than 8 hours a day. We're not forced to, but we get paid well for it, so I'm ok with that.
Most of it is in San Diego or Boston, really.
I'm not sure on remote devs, as honestly, biotech isn't really dev heavy (much to it's detriment). I'd look at the larger players in the space for jobs there, as they will likely be working in Canada too and may need help with local law compliance. If you're looking to switch things up, compliance is a very boring but deadly necessary sector of biotech that always needs people. I'll forewarn that the pay is less, though the stability is greater too (but not by all that much).
This may be a good site to keep your finger on the pulse of the industry and to find companies looking for talent.
At the end of the day, you are going to take less salary for a greater sense of mission and purpose. It's not as bad as teaching and nursing, but you're on that slide ruler now. Negotiate hard on starting salary.
I've been working remotely for 8 years..there are remote jobs out there. Good ones too with good pay. Especially good when you balance for time saved not going to an office and being forced to be "on the job" for 8hrs a day. Shrink that effective wage denominator.
