The only comment here I can reliably make is that Remote jobs are simply a lot rarer now and will get more rare. They exist and you can get them. But its much more difficult. Hybrids are far easier to get because so many are competing for WFH jobs now. If you are willing to continue working in your industry this can be an advantage. We all love WFH but its just not like it was in 2021.

Customer service jobs are particularly well suited for it, because call centers are physically expensive and turnover is always insane. Much cheaper to ship someone a work laptop and not waste the millions every year to rent an office building and pay electricity. I also have a decade of customer service experience and can handle a shrieking Shaniqua trying to quibble over a $2 price increase. They are the majority of what WFH jobs are listed right now.

But yeah, engineering jobs aren't likely to be WFH. I am going to try to stay where I am, because Denver still has a lot of tech companies. I am open to moving because of my current situation, but if tech is crashing out, it's going to do so nation wide. WFH is ideal, but insurance and paying the bills is mandatory.
