A lot of comments are indicating you're alone on this, but I'm finding the contrary. Our team doubled in size in the last 6 months or so with an office mandate (to almost 20 now). With aggressive hiring goals, we discussed whether we might have to transition to a remote company to satisfy market expectations, but found that as long as we're completely transparent in the initial conversation, there are people who are all-in on RTO.
One of our recent senior hires specifically wanted an in-office role and a lot of our junior engineers are hungry to learn from the seniors.
What I suspect is there will be a divide in the coming years and as long as companies are open about who they are, people can make the choice of where they want to work.
