It feels like fully remote jobs are still out there, but the competition has exploded — and sometimes the pay quietly dips compared to hybrid or in-office roles. Lawyers in this forum, do you think is that just the new normal? Are remote roles now the “premium lifestyle” option that comes with a pay trade-off?

It depends on how in-demand your skillset is. If you practice in an area where bodies are limitless, it’s easier for employers to drive a hard bargain. If you practice in a specialty where your skillset is less readily available, places that want those skills will be more flexible about their RTO/comp expectations.
