From my job searching experience in the last two months, that can not be possibly true, there are some remote positions but they're definitely not 60%, I would say it's about 15% at the best for software and engineering roles. just do a 'software developer' search on linkedin, it has 156000 jobs, then filter it via 'remote' it drops down to 24400, that's 15%.
I hope this trend is here to stay, I cannot even imagine of going to an office in a daily basis anymore
For smaller companies, it is a no brainer. Why spend so much renting multiple geographical offices when you can have just 1 HQ and workers available in all timezones. Save on rent, spend on eng and product. Profit?

I've been working remotely for nearly seven years now. I've been able to enjoy all of the typical "firsts" for my youngest two, saved immense amounts of time with no commute, and have been able to pitch in more regarding domestic tasks. I understand and empathize with those that value face-to-face conversations in the office, but for those that don't, remote work is an incredible boon.
I have been working full time remote since Sept 2021 (correction, 2020, just before pandemic). It's not even that I don't value the face-to-face conversations and human interaction, I absolutely do. It just doesn't come close to the immense value I gain by WFH. A side benefit: I was able to move closer to my church community, so my "human interaction" need is being fulfilled richer than ever now. (One of the most fru…
Perfectly stated. I can be quite outgoing when I want to be, and in many of my previous jobs I enjoyed many of my colleagues, but now I can devote my energy to the relationships I value most.
I have four kids, time is undoubtedly my most valuable commodity. I don't think I'd be able to foster as many friendships if I was working in an office. I'm sure I'd have friendships with a few colleagues, but WFH enables me to devote myself to friendships as I see fit.

You can also pay way less for engineers outside of the bay area
I wouldn't mind working in a office again, but my stipulations would be a pay increase to account for having to live closer to work, and having to pay people to clean up the house a couple times a week

just curious, why the downvote? I like remote and I only do remote, that does not mean 60% is a fact, and fact matters.
