Remote work was around before covid, and it will still be around after covid. More companies are remote-only or remote first now than were around before 2020.

I have no statistics. I'm basing this on looking for remote jobs in 2017 and 2024, and there's no comparison on what I'm seeing, really. There are so many more open positions than there were.

I imagine (again, without hard data) that it would be easier to negotiate a position listed as on-site into being remote, compared to doing that 10 years ago. Why? Because it's not considered crazy and impossible anymore, now that we've all done it.

On the other hand, more people (like yourself) want remote jobs, so there's more people going after that supply of remote work than there was before.

Still, I think on balance it's quite a bit easier to find a WFH position than it used to be, and I would not worry about the future.
