Maybe they feel like you will be saving money and time not having to commute? I don't know. You make valid points and I agree, they shouldn't use remote as leverage when they are already saving a lot on the position being remote.
- dizzystar 9y agoThe gas is valid if they only want to negotiate $3/hr or something like that. It's always more, of course.
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoCommuting cost time also. If your rate is $80/hour, that really adds up if you have a one hour commute each way with traffic.
- dizzystar 9y agoI live in Los Angeles. If the company is in New York, does that mean I should take out the price of plane tickets for each way?
- seanmcdirmid 9y agoThe comparison doesn't make sense in a vacuum. If you live in Hollywood and the job you want is in Santa Monica, then you would add some time for that. If the remote ob is just as good, you could save some time and not go to Santa Monica. If your ideal job is already down the street from where you live, then remote doesn't offer much commute advantage.
