Working from home is more than just a popular employee perk. Whether you’re pressed for time to run errands or share childcare responsibilities with your spouse, remote work has provided some serious flexibility for employees in the modern era.
Unfortunately, with many businesses issuing return-to-office mandates, devoid of any research to back it up, these kinds of roles have been dwindling across the business landscape. But that doesn’t mean they’re impossible to find.
In this guide, we’ll cover a wide range of roles from businesses like Google, Amazon, and many others, so you can finally enjoy the flexible work arrangements that became so widespread during the pandemic.
