Hybrid is the worst of both worlds. You need to still live close to an office and commute 3x a week, but then you also need to have a proper office/desk at your own home for the remaining 2 days. I'd rather just go in to the office everyday and optimize my living situation for commuting, or (much much preferred) just work remotely every day with occassional company-wide meetups.

Personally, I wouldn't even interview with a company that was hybrid, even if that's unfortunately becoming more and more common.

In general, hybrid working arrangements allow you to come in every day although it's possible, depending on the company, that you won't have a dedicated desk. (Probably something you can negotiate.)
Hybrid is my preferred option. I’m happy to do individual work at home, but absolutely hate long running calls. I’d prefer to come in a few days a week for collaboration.

That’s fine. They’ll find another candidate
