It’s easy to forget now, but before 3 years ago, finding remote work was very difficult. I should know, I’ve worked remotely 75% of the years since the 90’s but I was lucky. Or stubborn. Or both.
Nowadays I love that job postings almost always specify whether it’s onsite or remote. And in software, remote seems to be the default. What’s not to like if they get a larger pool of applicants and lower office costs.
