My experience is that things are shifting and rather than try to come out with a consistent policy, some companies are starting to take up a public and private position. Publicly the policy is in-office or (more likely) hybrid, but privately, if you're a high performer, everything's negotiable. Its being left up to the discretion of individual managers. Simply looking at counts of remote job listings doesn't give a full picture. You also won't get a full picture from only talking to people who are trying to land a remote position as an outside hire. You're far more likely to still be working remotely if you've stayed at a company long enough to make yourself indispensable. Which makes me think that long term, WFH may emerge as a counterbalance to the increasing trend of job hopping. I know I could probably lift my salary by a decent amount by looking elsewhere, but between WFH and a decent amount of PTO, I don't have much inclination to try.
