Unless you work for a firm that provides a stipend or reimbursement, you are on the hook for developing your own office space and maintaining office supplies yourself, including maintaining an internet connection.

Anyway, given the flexibility it provides for pickups/dropoffs/sickdays, I would take maybe a 10-15% pay cut. That said, it’s no skin off their back to “let” you work from home and in fact requires a much lower investment. I went from making 80k for a 4-day in office job to 115k fully remote.

It is valuable since so many are looking for it and can’t find it. So the market will bear lower wages for it. It’s capitalism.
