I haven’t met any SWE that want to go back to the office. Heck, even my managers manager has said she never wants to go back, and she is a complete extrovert. These developers online that claim they want to go back must be as rare as hen’s teeth.

About 30-40% of my engineering team prefer spending 2-3 days a week in the office, if we’re doing anecdata.

My team seems to have roughly 40% prefer full-remote, 40% prefer hybrid, 20% prefer full office.

I recently switched teams from one where all but one other person (who was hired when the office was closed down and would have an inconveniently long commute) works from the office most days to one where I'm the only person who doesn't. So that's about 80% at least partly in office.

Is there a big commute? Since I moved to a 15 000 pop town and work here my view on remote as the best thing ever has changed. Also we have private offices. So I don't know if it is the commute or offices that makes it so much better.

We have a remote of you want policy and the only two guys who use it also live in the nieghboring towns.

Another anecdote: I love WFH but i still want to spend about 20% of the time in the office, just to see and talk to people face2face.
