I think remote work increasing in viability & popularity will continue pushing this trend over time. Many people who work in software and other computer-centric jobs (myself included) no longer feel pressure to live central to a big city for work anymore.
- kayoone 9y agonot sure, from my experience most companies still prefer on-site and when they offer remote, it's more of a tempoary perk not meant to be used permanently. Also salaries seem to be lower/high paying remote jobs are harder to get.
- closeparen 9y agoSeveral large companies that experimented with full-time remote work have ended those experiments and declared it to be a failure. I expect we will see it trend down, not up. Maybe some new, large, remote-first organizations will be born, but it seems unlikely that they would pay rich-country salaries.
- artursapek 9y agoRemote-first is the way to go, I think. That's how my current employer functions and I think it works pretty well. You definitely don't want to be the one guy who's remote and left out of lots of stuff. I also think it's much more likely to work at a smaller org than a large one. Of course, even in remote-first occasional face time is important. So some traveling is involved.
