From my conversations with other founders / people in businesses or startups, it is more a "it depends". And this may be measured on two dimensions. (A) Depending on a given function and (B) the culture business aims to have (remote / not remote / partially-remote ok / hybrid).

(A) From what I can see, the more tech heavy a given role, the more remote is OK. For non-technical roles, I see fewer remote options. Especially during Covid times, when I spoke with CTOs, they all mentioned how well fully remote works for their teams. Which is quite different to the results in other functions.

(B) Is pretty much a decision from the founding team and the early members of the business + how well the collaboration works. I see fundamentally different approaches here and all can lead to great results.

I currently also often see a somewhat hybrid model, i.e., companies trying to have the staff in the office e.g., on a Tuesday and Thursday...
