It was kind of surprising – I assumed all remote jobs were this jackpot of cash and freedom, but the offers I saw were either contract-based or lower than what I’m making now. Also, being physically present sometimes opens doors that just don’t exist online – like informal mentoring, team visibility, and chances to lead new projects. That said, I get the appeal of no commuting and flexible scheduling. I guess it depends on how much value you place on structure vs. freedom, and how good you are at networking remotely.
I’ve actually been comparing this myself lately, because my current office job is fine money-wise but the daily commute is getting old. I started checking remote options in gambling and came across SpinHire while looking through vacancies. A few of the remote roles were paying noticeably better than similar local positions, although the requirements were also higher. I used the country and language filters to get rid of the stuff that didn’t fit me, applied to a couple of positions and eventually got an offer for a remote role. For me the money ended up being better, but I’d still say it depends a lot on the company and the actual position.
