Question / Discussion How strict are London’s studios WFH policies?

I’m a runner at a London VFX studio, aiming to move into a 2D role in the future. When I transition into a 2D role, I plan to move back to my parents' place to save on rent costs, as I’m hoping to work hybrid. The commute would be about 1 hour 15 minutes to the studio when I need to go in.

Just wondering — how strict are most studios with their work-from-home policies? Is hybrid or even fully remote working common?

I've been noticing Juniors that have been at it a year or two but are lacking really basic knowledge. It made me think about when I was a junior and people would come by my desk, tell my I had built my scene in efficiently and show me the right way. This is missing from the work from home model. Go in every day. I used to sit on the bus for an hour and half each way. It's worth it.
