    No true anymore. Many tech jobs are returning to office, including my own. Slowly went from 1 to 2 to now 3 days a week. Sucks

      Yes but most tech jobs are in cities where commuting by vehicle is not preferable. Maybe some Seattle or Bellevue offices break the norm but the majority are in NYC Manhattan or some part of San Fran or Palo Alto. Driving in those are a bit nuts.

      Example I’m in NYC and even pre pandemic it was way faster for me to commute by train than car.
