It’s wild to me how many finance roles still require in-office five days a week when the actual work is 90% spreadsheets and emails. I’d show up for client meetings, sure, but why commute just to sit in a cubicle? Would you rule out a job just because it doesn’t offer hybrid or remote?

I agree with you. It seems like more and more companies are requiring in office when there is really no need from it. I can get way more done at home than I can in the office anyhow.

Bosses want workers where they can see them, it's been that way forever. And the current opposition to remote work is fueled by a suspicion that remote workers were gaming the system. Once you had celebrity CEOs like Jamie Dimon going on finTV and railing about remote work everyone else had to play follow the leader. It doesn't matter if it makes logical sense at that point.

I honestly think companies do this to keep teams lean and reduce HC

I might... depends on how desperate I am. Give me hybrid/remote 90% of the time though.
