Could this be selection bias? Better developers have their choice of companies, and it makes sense that they would prefer WFH over working in an office.

- alexpetralia 7y agoThe results are also selected from a StackOverflow survey. It is hard to tell if SO survey respondents overrepresent higher-earning remote workers or not.
- wainstead 7y agoYup, this comment should be at the very top. The first problem with this analysis of job salaries is it's based on a self-selected survey and not a random sample.
- thedevelopnik 7y agoI prefer working in an office, but do work somewhere that I have the option of WFH when I want to (pre-COVID, we’re all remote now). I felt I had my choice of company when I was job searching last. Its just not universal that talented people want to WFH. I live 1.5 miles from the downtown of my city, in a residential neighborhood. We have parks and space and I can still ride my bike to work and engage with colleagues face to face as I prefer.
