This is it. I actually took a small pay cut this year to work for a company that is guaranteed remote friendly.
The peace of mind knowing that these guys already had remote engineers before the pandemic and a good workflow, and having a job that is officially and permanently remote is absolutely worth a few thousand bucks to me.
I was dreading going back to the office, even if only a day or two a week.
Counting the commute I would have otherwise been going back to with my previous company that was super excited to get asses back in seats, I'm probably actually getting paid more per hour of my time dedicated to work activities.
