My current position is 100% remote work-from-home and I took this job in 2018. It was impeccable timing and when the pandemic hit, my life/work routine barely changed at all.
Prior to that, I had an office job with a 1h 15m commute each way...not because I lived super far away, but because my office was in downwtown Seattle and commuting is a nightmare in this region.
Having an extra 2.5 hours of me-time each day is almost priceless. Not having to deal with the stresses of commuting and not having to deal with the daily scum of public transportation is priceless.
To get me to return to the office (that miserable routine)...it would take a 4-day work week, plus a significant pay increase, plus a monthly transportation stipend.
