I live somewhere pretty idyllic, and get approached about remote roles in London paying $$$ regularly. Granted I may need to travel a few hours on the train for a big client meeting once a month, but I accept that the personal touch accelerates things massively in the early stages of a client relationship. My team is spread out across Europe, and gets a serious amount done. Given the remote first element I can still be in contact with them whilst travelling. Compare that to the local companies that want me in the office 3-4 days a week for $ (almost half the salary), with a team where communication is not remote first and it's a complete no-brainer which is more attractive. Remote is here to stay. Some companies will do it, some won't. Time will tell which have the competitive advantage..
