The resumption of office work might be picking up steam globally, but the remote job market remains firm.
According to reports, 25 per cent of all professional jobs across developed economies will be remote by the end of 2022, and the number of remote job opportunities will continue to rise through 2023.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, only those allowed to do remote jobs were mainly relegated to senior roles.
CNBC says that the workplace has become more tolerable to remote work for the longer term, and employees are increasingly hiring for various high-paying roles that could be done from home.
