A recent paper believes work from home reducing entry level gigs fits the data better, https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=6787638.

I hate it, but the X thread is the easiest review piece I can find, https://x.com/pj_lambert/status/2057477629528150369.

I struggle to see how WFH, especially as that was far more common from 2020 to 2023 than 2023 to 2026

Rather than the post-covid slump we've seen globally

> WFH makes supervision, monitoring, and on-the-job learning harder

It makes it different. In many ways it makes it easier, if you have the right supervisors and mentors working in the right way.

The larger impact would be hotdesking. Going to an office and not sitting anywhere in your team makes collaboration harder than working from home.

The requirement to move job to progress in remuneration harms retention, and thus reduces willingness to invest in a junior, but it's the expectation to move job after 2-3 years.
