        but then I wouldn’t have a job anymore

        Surely you're aware of how common remote work is in our industry, right? I did this while remote at one company and had no problem finding a new job since then. New job is even based out of the Bay Area so I got a huge pay bump even though I live in the middle of nowhere (super lcol)

        There's plenty of reason not to do this too, but if you actually want to or had been thinking about it I can assure you from experience that finding/keeping remote software jobs is not an issue

            I know companies have been pushing for it, but I also know that if you only apply for remote jobs and jobs that you don't physically live near, you will only get remote offers. (similarly if you don't apply for blockchain shit you won't get offers from blockchain companies lol)

            And I also know that there are still loads of remote jobs — i only sent out one round of applications during my last job search, and still talked to a dozen companies hiring fully remote before taking one of their offers

            Like if you live in the Bay Area and apply for Bay Area jobs of course they're going to try to make you come in even if it's listed as fully remote. They're not making me commute from the Midwest
