The marketing world is currently a game of musical chairs with buyers and sellers switching sides or people making lateral jumps to different clients or agencies.

The cost of switching is lower with remote work - fewer social bonds with coworkers, fewer fringe benefits to consider (travel, fancy office, expense/entertainment accounts), no change in commute.

People are willing to try the same job in a new company for the shot at an easier to climb corporate ladder because the only cost to switching is swapping one company-owned laptop and phone for another.
