I muddled the point. Not as a contractor literally, but as a "sharecropper" who must provide more things themselves instead of work providing them. > Personally I would even buy my own laptop for work This reduces your income if work would pay for it. This reminds me of some jobs where employees have to buy their own uniforms, equipment, etc. as the point I almost made.

> This reduces your income if work would pay for it. I agree; I guess my personal point is that I don't remotely care about anything as much as I do the ability to wfh. After that is salary, after that is other comp. Offer me a fully-remote job at an acceptable salary and you've got me very interested. In contrast I've flat out turned down recruiters, including FAANG, when I asked about remote opportunities and they say they maybe will do a hybrid model in the future. At the end of the day if I'm making a good salary and can work wherever I want to in the US/world, nothing else matters to me too much.
