I think it really depends on the market- industry and location. In the Bay Area startup scene, I've been seeing more of the larger orgs transition to a hybrid workflorce, following the FAANG trend. The smaller startups (<50) will still be remote with a preference for hybrid, and the earlier staged (ones <25) will opt for on-site if they have an office, and remote if they don't have an office location.

I've been hearing murmurs that perhaps the future will hold rate cuts for remote employees, or standardization of wages regardless of location (at least in the US, which will lead to rate cuts in CA, NY, WA, and a hand full of others).

There are companies that have always been remote, even before COVID. So fully remote work won't go away. My recommendation to you is to focus on earlier-staged startups, if you have an interest in that and the necessary grit. There are also sites that focus on remote jobs that can help guide your search.
