I suspect HN skews senior/established in our careers, but it’s interesting comparing the sentiment of people on here (almost universally pro-remote) with candidates I’ve talked to when we’ve listed roles. A lot of candidates, especially more junior ones, explicitly want an in-person office culture.

Is it an in-person job? Then no one who wants that job would be stupid enough to say otherwise.

We’re a small team (3) who works in-person by coincidence of being local, but we are explicitly open to remote within overlapping time zones.

Seriously, if you're junior then you're more desperate and you're going to straight face lie about your opinions to make yourself more hireable.

I’m sure there’s some of that, but is it really that hard to imagine that someone at the beginning of their career would get more out of being in-person? I certainly benefitted from that at the beginning of my career.

It's very easy to forget about people who are remote.
