Short of a contractual guarantee, you should always approach a new job with this expectation. They may say remote now. But almost all of us are subject to 'at will' employment laws and the company could absolutely change its mind later. I've only been looking at remote jobs that also happen to have big offices or headquarters in places I'd be okay moving to, because I might use it as a plausible path to move there. My ties to the area I live in are about to end, and I'm feeling the itch to shake things up.

This. I am currently going through talking with HR ( mostly because management did not want to 'create a precedent'; clearly they got orders from higher ups ) hoping to get full time remote, while, at the same time, interviewing for other positions ( which will worst case serve as a leverage - worst case, I will just go to a different office making more money ). It sucks, but yeah. Unless this is in writing somewhere, it can change at any moment. If I wasn't so scared of being my own boss ( it is genuinely hard to keep track of everything ), I would consider trying consulting.
