While I see your point, the job pool for a remote candidate, realistically, is the couple dozen jobs a month that they find on HN/Linkedin/StackOverflow Jobs/etc. Also, the on-site candidate pool, realistically, is a subset of the remote candidate pool* (edited). I don't know anyone who wouldn't prefer to work from home (or wherever).
- StavrosK 9y agoSure, and also everyone tends to go for the SF positions, as they pay better. I was just mentioning one theoretical way that remote working might be less competitive than on-site.
- bpicolo 9y agoIt takes a certain type to WFH and there are plenty of downsides. I'm currently remote but I wouldn't say I prefer it to on site. It's almost certainly exaggeration to say everybody prefers it. There are ups and downs.

- maccard 9y agoI know plenty of people who wouldn't prefer to work from home. I have the option to do so regularly, but I only take it when it suits me for other reasons (someone coming to visit normally) I prefer to keep my work and home life separate if possible.
- taway_1212 9y agoI for one prefer to work in office rather than from home.
