Anecdotally, the startups in my circles are the ones pushing hardest for return to office. Startups move and change faster and therefore the advantages of being in-person are greater (I say this as someone who works remote and loves it, but admits the downsides)
There are a few startups that have gone all-in on remote and embraced that as a recruiting point. However, they seem to also being using that as a way to justify lower compensation. Makes sense, given that a lot of people will take a lower comp in exchange for full remote work.
Meanwhile, I’m actually seeing more remote job listings from companies like Google
Anecdotally, every startup I've been involved with for the last few years has completely embraced the WFH and used it to expand their hiring pools to the entire country. I've even seen some who are using tools like remote.com to hire staff outside the US.
I've also done a lot of interviewing over the last year and only one startup (Vanta) refused to allow long term remote. Every other company I talked to said they loved it.
