People would also pay less for home.

People have more time for themselves by not commuting?

The downside is that WFH is an extremely competitive market. It is incredibly difficult to snag a remote job for a company you do not currently work for or have never worked for.

My friend has switched jobs twice, both WFH gigs, since the pandemic. She didn't seem to have too much trouble. IDK his good she is in her field though. She handles hiring people.

She likely has had experience with WFH before which makes it easier, but I can still tell you that she probably applied to like 500+ different places to get those interviews.
