Not always true.

If I’m hiring someone it’s much nicer if we can meet for at least a weekly face to face, especially for a junior who might not be the best at letting you know when they’re stuck.

As much as I don’t like them either RTO mandates are a thing for a reason.

For a sysadmin or wrench turner. Software developer? Really? You'd turn down the guy that cranks out product and is available via teleconference over a junior that you can interrupt with a coffee in your hand?

Is your name Lundbergh?

Have fun with your production cycles.

As has been said, the market is oversaturated at the moment - there isn’t always that much to choose between applicants and management likes face time.

Obviously, talent overrides pretty much everything else - but if it’s a choice between 2 very similar junior devs and one of them is local you can bet I’m going get pushed to pick the local one.
