For anyone working remotely in tech, do companies still hire fully remote entry level employees or are most businesses pushing hybrid now? I keep seeing remote postings but then finding out later they secretly prefer local candidates who can come into the office occasionally.

You definitely need to research the company around remote. Are they a company who did remote before Covid or was forced into. Do they have a habit of changing their minds. Some companies will hire remote candidates and later change their minds

Remote is more common than being advertised I am finding, and I think that the number one factor is that any role at any level that is advertised as being remote gets 100's of applicants in the first day of being posted, where as roles tied to a location don't seem to get to 100 applicants. I've interviewed for a couple sales roles and come to find tjst it's remote so long as you live in the territory, or completely remote if it's a regional or national type role.

IBM, on the other hand, does have people currently in remote roles, though new hires are more likely to be hybrid.

Nobody's hiring entry-level employees much less remote entry-level. Stop asking the same questions every week.

They definitely still exist. I work for a 30,000 employee company in healthcare and our entire IT department (except dedicated on site support like Field Services and the datacenter techs) is remote. Covid started it, but we found it way cheaper not needing to lease so much space for engineers that can work from home. Not to mention, for the space we did keep, it was way more profitable to convert it to clinical space. It likely depends on what sector the company is in along with its senior management.

Though when it comes to “entry level”, it does get more difficult. Most of our infrastructure and security IT teams are not considered entry level, so getting one of the remote jobs is harder. Generally, people start out either in Field Services, the Help Desk, or in some cases as a clinical tech and make the move to IT. Then the infrastructure teams tend to hire from those pools or externally.
