#4Not only for devs. I was working for a mega-big US company doing audit/sec and 90% of the time I was working from home, and it was the best thing!

#5This is so obvious, but so few roles allow for that.
I am below my market rate but happy and motivated, as I am 100% remote.
Imagine if someone offered market rate, they'd still be ahead, without the need to pay for the office space.

#6If I actually had an office and not some little box with neighbors talking the whole day I may be ok with going to an office. Working from home is my only chance to actually think without distractions.

#8I've been working from home now for a year and a half, and I love it. It's really quiet, and no one interrupts me. The best possible arrangement would be a private office at work, but working at home is miles better than an open-plan office.

#9It's not really a perk. It comes with its own set of problems, friends.
Lack of focus, being taken advantage of and ending up working 10-12 hours instead of 8 and plenty more (lack of networking, etc.)
If it works "for you" then it'a a great thing to have in your life WFH!!
If not, then there is always the office.
