Has anyone apply to positions that do not say they are remote? I have noticed an increase of companies not mentioning WFH options, but during the interview process they are mentioning it as an option.

Which job

It was for an e-commerce company in NYC. They offered an in office but during the interview mentioned I could be 100% remote if I wanted to.

Yes this has been my experience with three different companies now and one that did the reverse. Stated remote then wanted in office 3 days a week.

I have noticed that trend. I have also seen jobs marketed as remote but on the interview it’s made clear that it’s in person

Yes I’ve been looking since last fall (mostly on LinkedIn) and it seems employers want to leave themselves the flexibility by not being honest. Generally for me “remote” goes with “<50% travel”. My last interview last Thursday it said hybrid, office 40 miles away, HR said only for big meetings. Meet w hiring mgr, says 2/3 days a week 46 miles away, turnaround situation. No thanks! Bait and switch. Not biting. Mind you none of this was in the posted JD.

Don’t want to drive 700 miles per week M-F. What will dual model be like going forward? 1-2 times week, 4-5 month? Seems like tax was more flexible than audit pre-Covid

I’ve been with my current company for a little over 5 years now and since the start of the pandemic have been WFH. I absolutely love WFH and have always wanted a position in which I could WFH. There is talk of bringing everyone back to the office full time and that’s not what I would like to happen. I’ve been searching for a new position in which it would be a remote role. My current company also said I am maxed out in term of what they are willing to pay salary wise.

Left PA and started industry remotely. Haven’t been in the office. Met my team one time. Tips are to always be on video for even the smallest of calls. Take a ridiculous amount of notes. In downtime, go through your notes and come up with questions by reperforming old work. Set up recurring question sessions with your team so you know what to do next time. Set up performance meetings even monthly because it’s hard to get a gauge on your performance

Should one add their personal technology that are currently used for remote work on their resume? Seems most companies will provide the hardware and software needed. However, it’s unclear if the employer will provide this through Teamviewer/VPN connection or will send an actual computer. Along with this, would it be pertinent to add your internet capability (speed, fios/cable/satellite/dsl)?
