- dx034 6y agoPure speculation, but maybe you have to look around or negotiate to find remote work? Those who tend to do that probably also get better salaries than those that stick with one job for very long or don't compare much when looking for jobs.

- thinkharderdev 6y agoOne possibility is that remote developers are just more productive (or if you prefer, more productive developers are more able to negotiate a remote working allowance from their employer). In standard economic theory, the equilibrium wage is at the workers marginal revenue product (or the marginal revenue that their work produces for the organization). So you would expect remote workers to either earn more because they are more productive or, if remote work makes you more productive, to earn more as a result of working remotely and being more productive
