About $115K/annum working remotely—probably about the same as if not. As @stephencanon said, an employer that suspected there was a downside in productivity for remote workers (and I'd say it's at least equally likely that working remotely results in higher productivity on average) could assuage their own concerns by remembering the significant (~50% of salary?) savings from not having to pay for air conditioning, he…

Can I ask what your job is? Sounds like you won the remote working game
Started initially as a fully-remote team, but as the company's grown and staff has rotated, I'm the only fully remote guy still there. Coworkers take an occasional work-from-home day though.

Yes, he's wrong. I do quite well working remotely and every offer I've received for which I'd have to work in a $%^&ing open office (because open office good, cubicle bad plus mandatory daily Jar Jar meeting at no additional cost(1)) would have entailed a 25-50% pay cut. My advice is to refuse in every way you can to be the generic fungible engineer most management wishes you to be, and to instead specialize in emerg…
That link is stupid. We do daily standups. It usually takes about 3 minutes. If it's taking 2.5 hours/week, you're doing it wrong.
We take about 10 minutes/day.

working hour or two a day? What's your work schedule looks like? curious to know.
I am doing maintenance programming for living (in Delphi 5), which usually consist of long list of small problems and changes: I am usually trying to do one or two things a day, generate new binaries and send it to customer so he have something new to play with. I am usually working on my own things till, say 5 or 6 and then do my daily work for my customer.

The biggest source of No True Scotsman fallacies on the internet.
I know three people who work 100% remote, full-time for rates equivalent to 130-185k+ per year. Interestingly, I'd always thought of remote workers as either high-end technical specialists working as-needed or cheap bodies being delegated to. These folks all fall somewhere in the middle with the common factor being soft / niche skills - they work for sort of places that most people would run away from and work on thi…

Besides having the not-so-mainstream needed habilities, how do you manage to find that kind of (niche?) work?
Basically I do like to work with established, non-tech company that is around for long time, both companies are family owned with 50+ years in operation. I do respond to ads sometimes, got some referrals, bump to some odd guy at wine tasting and stuff like that.
225k this year, its great as long as they don't micro manage you
Anyways, I have been working remote for about a year. It's the best. I wish more recruiters / companies would understand that it doesn't make sense to have coders in the office.
I don't have to get SF coders pay, I will take a little bit of pay cut to live in Denver.

and for cybercoder4life, I'm looking for remote work.
