Feel free to downvote me again and laugh but as someone who's office is back in the city. Thing ARE already back to normal, you just have no idea yet as a remote drone.
I'll stop trying to help you and stop giving you cheat codes at this point. In 5 years we'll know who was correct.

I live in a large tech city you’d know, a venture-backed place on lists you’d recognize, and at a career point where I’ve played these cheat-codes already. I stayed in the city for the same reasons you’d advocate for. The offices are 1/4 full, financial districts around it are a ghost town, and companies are shedding real estate. I can’t down vote comments that are direct replies to me. Yeesh.
Referring to their death literally because the bars are closed for the last year and a half, despite the hit to innovation and progression that causes.
And I'll go to them once they're back, see "career progression reasons." The light ire my last comment contains is directed at the people that view these as lightweight friend happy hours, which these events have never been.
Golden rule - if my boss is remote, I'm still ok with remote. That said, your theory takes a hit with a full remote company at the eng and exec level, which many Series B/C/D startups are turning into.
