I read "companies do this or that" but it's teams that make hiring decisions. Whether companies or teams are prepared for remote colleagues or not it's up to them. Yes, pandemic has made everyone remote but we can't just ignore the fact that Bay area was paying premium because they wanted "locals" (or at least those willing to become locals). Otherwise why bother restrict hiring to a single region/country/continent? I know that it feels anachronistic to fight remote teams right now, but the truth is, regardless of the merits of both form of working some managers/teams/companies have preference for one or the other, simple as that. Employees also don't automatically become ideal remote colleagues overnight. So, maybe it is a good idea to attach a cost to the change from being in office to being remote so that the decision balances both ways.
