Interesting data, but I think the percentage of remote listings is misleading. Many “remote” jobs now require you to live within commuting distance of a particular city, usually SF or NY.


I agree, I've realized too late that I should have introduced a "Hybrid" category in this.


Another thing to improve this, is to ask posters to add GLOBAL_REMOTE, COUNTRY_REMOTE or something that indicates is not local remote only (within the same country).


I would add one more category.

Beyond the in-office and the N-days-a-week-hybrid, you have within _actual_ remote roles:

- Country remote (mostly for taxation/regulatory)

- Time zone remote (remote first companies but constraint to within 2 or 3 hours of HQ time zone)

- Anywhere remote (actual remote but often as a contractor or EoR)
