this is absolutely welcome. yeah a wide range is still better than nothing. it's actually very simple, surprisingly many job posts still miss them: * location, remote or relocation or hybrid * pay range * job description this saves both sides' time in the end. I also like the 'simple apply' and in fact I only apply for those jobs, i.e. just send out resume, instead of filling out lots of personal info. if the employer needs that, please parse the resume yourself with a script.

The number of jobs I've seen that have absolutely no mention of whether they are remote, hybrid, or on-site is astounding. I'm not wasting my time applying for something 1200 miles away just to find out that they want a 2/3 hybrid setup. Realistically I'd never find out because they'll see my address and never contact me.

  The default is and has always been that employees will come into the office, I don't know why you'd expect this to be specifically disclosed. If it doesn't say remote it's almost surely not remote.

    I would argue that the default for software engineers for the past 3-4 years has not been onsite, in person.

      After the big tech companies all did their RTO last year I'm really not sure how remote work could be seen as the default. I recognize that it happens - there was a whole drama cycle last month from Amazon employees who seem to have believed the RTO was optional - but it's not a wise job searching strategy to expect remote opportunities from a company that doesn't advertise them.

  Or remote with a country or timezone restriction. There's lots of US companies that just say "remote" but forget to mention that the candidate must be a US resident, or work within X timezones, etc. Contrast to worldwide remote companies, which really do hire in all timezones.
