I worked 100% remotely for four years, and while the pay was higher, so was the expected workload. In the remote job I'd regularly work 10-12 hour plus days, and often had to work weekends. My current job, with 2 days a week in the office and the rest remote, is basically 9-5. I reckon in my case the extra hours cancelled out the higher pay.
Also a sample size of 1, but: my current full-time remote job is strictly 9-5/5 days a week with upper management extremely concerned about ensuring people have a solid work/life balance and sufficient time off.
It also pays 2x what I’d make locally.
Just to say that fully remote is by no means necessarily a stealth sweatshop.
