I think if you do a lot of intellectual and independent work and produce independent work product, work at home is great, especially if things get back to normal. Trying to juggle daycare, home-schooling and work at home now isn't that great now and is counterproductive but most employers recognize this and give allowance that family life comes first.

On the flip side, if you do a lot of collaborative work and need to meet clients face to face, have a company office with rooms for collaboration is ideal or you like the office interactions, then work at home isn't ideal for you. That being said, COVID-19 will temporary modify how offices and conference rooms are used, at least until a vaccine and treatment is found and used and we beat this COVID-19.
