I’m seeing remote job listings, but wondering how legit they are. I've heard rumors that some companies hire you as a remote worker and then force you back to a desk once you're settled in. Has anyone dealt with this? I’m trying to be careful so I don't end up stuck with a commute.

I got hired remote 4 years ago and still work remote. I’ve never been in the office or met any of my coworkers in person ever. We just communicate in Teams and it works for us. I guess it t all depends on what company

Remote jobs do still exist, but they are incredibly rare and very competitive. If it feels like you got an easy offer, it is almost guaranteed to be a scam. And yeah, some companies are doing the bait and switch by offering remote jobs and then turning them into office jobs. It is an unavoidable risk.

Unfortunately, this does happen where they advertise roles as “remote” but later change expectations to hybrid or in-office once you’re hired. To protect yourself, confirm the remote status in writing in the offer letter, ask whether the role is “fully remote” or “remote for now." If you get this confirmation, I've seen companies where they honor it because they've already mentioned it to you.

Hi all! I work at a nonprofit and am looking to leave the organization. As I browse available positions in my area, I’m realizing there is a LOT of crossover between my current org and others, for example shared board members, folks who are on our board and employed at one of the institutions I’m interested in, etc.. Is there a way to say “my current org doesn’t know I’m looking, so please treat my interest with discretion” that doesn’t raise red flags? Thanks!
