Unless you are working for a 100% full time remote company, my suggestion is to go into the office.

You'll get more exposure to people, more chances for one-off conversations, your boss will know what you look like and you'll be closer to the action - all important things early in your career.

Once you're an old hat at things, it doesn't matter nearly as much. You know who to reach out to, know how to navigate politics, know what the resources are.

My prediction is we'll see people slowly return unless their company strongly enacts 100% remote (or the role fits remote well - little to no team interaction).

Once a few ambitious people start finding out the project they really wanted to work on went to someone else who has been having lunch with the boss 3 days a week, they'll get in the office too or find another job.
