My department (IT) volunteered to go "full virtual" during the pandemic. It's stayed that way. Some people go in once a week (catch up with friends, have lunch together, etc) - but I'm far more productive now - I always had more teleconferences than "real" meetings, so no big difference for me. As far as working from home (from India) - while there may be equal technical knowledge, the institutional knowledge isn't there - luckily for me, IT turnover is *wayyyyyy* lower than other areas of the business, so it's up to us to understand how the business actually runs.
With that said, I really can't wait for the day I don't have to do business analysis and code any more! (Less than five years left!)
