My first remote job started as an on-site office job, and I was able to convince my boss over time to eventually go 100% remote.

My current contract is with a local company that happens to support remote work. I found this job through a recruiter. But like I said, it was a rare find. The recruiters I work with know that I'm looking for remote-only, but those positions are few and far between.

My contract is ending soon so I'll be looking at the online job boards in addition to working with recruiters; it remains to be seen how much success I'll have with that.

The biggest problem is that many companies that refuse remote work, don't have any issues outsourcing big piles of it to the other side of the planet.

Or having several offices across the country and departments/teams split between theses offices, resulting in having just 1 or 2 department/team members in a few of the offices.

The only difference with home office and the only thing that matters to them is that there is a warder (they call him a manager).
