Ehh. It doesn't matter up until the point it does. I quit my last job partly because we moved from a nice area in a dumpy building to an awful space (no natural light) for ~10 months. My health suffered, I felt depleted, and the entire team was on edge. How easy to commute to ($$) and how nice it is are definitely things I consider. Free food gets an outsized return too, if we're talking >100k salaries--I'd bet $4000 in free food gets more goodwill than a 5% pay bump.

Agree that remote should be more widely used, especially in software.
