The world fights about return-to-office. Israel never left, and its short commutes plus in-person mentorship make that a quiet advantage for anyone building a career.
Read the global tech press and remote work sounds like the only future worth wanting. Look at 41,000+ Israeli listings and you will see a country that quietly kept the office: only about 5% mention remote or hybrid work, and "fully remote" appears in just two listings. For a lot of job-seekers that reads as bad news. For anyone trying to build a career, it is closer to a gift.
Israel can keep the office because it is small and dense, with the whole tech economy sitting within an hour of Tel Aviv. Short commutes, not cross-continent ones. So "come in" never carried the cost it does elsewhere, and the upside of being in the room stayed fully intact.
The things that actually accelerate a career, mentorship, being handed the interesting work, overhearing how decisions get made, building a network of people who will vouch for you, all happen far faster in person. Remote is efficient for someone who already has a reputation. For someone building one, a desk near experienced people is one of the best investments available, and Israel still offers it by default.
Stop treating the in-office norm as a tax and start treating it as an opportunity. Be in the building, be useful in person, and collect the mentors and contacts that a remote worker three time zones away never will. In a market that kept its offices, showing up is still a real edge.
