I live in Europe (well, Eastern Europe) and couldn't afford to live in an apartment close to the office, so my commute from / to the suburb is 1.5 hours each way, I'd literally get mental health problems at 3 hours a day in the traffic.
So no way I'm returning to the office. Almost all employers here state at least hybrid work (3 office + 2 home) on paper but in reality with tacit acceptance from management it's nearly 100% remote only, with occasional meetup in the office. Like once per sprint or even less.
