I&#x27;ve been working from home of the past four years. About once or twice a month I get an email from a recruiter from the Bay Area. I in turn reply that I&#x27;d be interested if I didn&#x27;t have to relocate and can continue working from home, to which they usually reply no.<p>At what point in this tech worker shortage&#x2F;drastic expensive economy do I convince one of these companies that I&#x27;d be a better value working remotely, even willing to work for less salary? The tooling is so good now it almost seems like I&#x27;m in an office anyway. And the irony is many of these companies already have distributed teams that use these tools.<p>What am I missing?
