We’re now four years into the remote work revolution, and it’s clear that this new work model is here to stay.
Nick Bunker, Indeed’s economic research director for North America, described the work-from-home shift as “one of the major changes in the U.S. labor market over the last couple of decades.” He added, “It’s still going strong and will likely be around for a long time,” in an interview with CNBC last week.
Data from Indeed’s Remote Work Tracker reveals that the proportion of job postings advertising remote or hybrid work has stabilized at around 7.8%—a figure nearly three times higher than in 2019.
Despite discussions about returning to the office, many companies continue to embrace the remote work model, recognizing its benefits for their workforce and its positive impact on business efficiency, productivity, and overall gains.

What You Should Know
One common thread among these companies—and many others that advocate for remote work or maintain a remote-first culture—is that they are primarily within the tech sector or are heavily tech-enabled.
While this doesn’t necessarily mean you need to be a tech expert to secure a remote position, having experience in a tech or tech-enabled company can be advantageous. It shows that you understand the work environment and the typical demands of such businesses.
Whether your previous role was in a fintech company or you worked in sales for enterprise software products, your experience can be a valuable asset and a strong talking point during job interviews.
Finally, ensure that your actions align with your goals. If you’re seeking remote-friendly companies, prepare your home office space to accommodate your new role.
Even if the company provides a stipend for setting up your home office, consider dedicating a specific area in your home where you can work with minimal distractions.
Preparing for Your Remote Job
As you search for your ideal remote employer, take the time to prepare your mindset and home office space. Start by clearing out a corner of your room, organizing that cluttered storage space, or transforming a part of your bedroom into a dedicated workspace. As you do, take a moment to feel grateful—your dream remote job and employer could be just around the corner.
