It did for me too, I still travel to some things.

But it did show me that a lot of things were unnecessary to travel too and were just fine virtually.

It isnt go back to how it was before or all virtual, there is a middle ground of traveling and in person when it is actually valuable instead of just being yet another conference.

For better or worse, it’s kind of the double-edged sword of ICs insisting that WFH is fine and they don’t need to see other people in the office. Once you’ve made that argument, it’s hard to find a principled objection when management says “OK, no more conferences on our dime then.”
