For software engineering, anecdotally the companies pushing for 100% in office are the more traditional enterprise organisations, that haven't embraced technology and agile practices.

While remuneration might be similar, there is a lot of red tape and working people willing to put up with bureaucracy are generally not as passionate and therefore try and palm off work or engage in politics.

I agree in principle that 100% in office roles are a red flag and not worth the hassle.

Yeah at my current company it's at leadership discretion. My group is permanent remote, but some of my companion groups are being forced back to the office.

Our pay across the board is dogshit though, and we're bleeding devs but the company won't let management pay what's needed to retain people.

On that note, if anyone's looking for a senior/staff full stack swe with 5 years of react plus a whole bunch of other stuff, let me know. Please.
