What are the cons?
that physical/mental pain in the process (much like more severe surgeries) is a thing - especially if it's something you retain any amount of consciousness with.
there's also the elephant in the room of coming back as a vegetable. whether due to biological damage or the brain simply not being able to recalibrate.
Yes, exactly. I know these companies exist, but from looking for the last few days, a lot of them seem to not believe so much in remote work. This makes it challenging for me, as I have a disability (degenerative nerve condition) that makes it physically quite difficult to get into an office. This constraint around remote work is what had me working for startups in the first place
also somebody who's worked remote for the last 5 years partially due to disabilities; there's lots of us out there. like somebody else said, go to the linkedin profiles of the fortune 500 (maybe 1000?) companies and start applying to the ones that filter out only-in-office.
also honestly sometimes even if the profile doesn't explicitly say 100% remote, it can be if they want you bad enough. i got an exemption in my current place that's technically "hybrid only" ... wishing you best of luck.

my dayjob (design manager at an international company) just had the mother of all adobe bugs/crashes/forcibly quits around 4pm EST. wonder if it's related to this.
makes me extremely thankful I do all of my creative print projects under this handle purely in OSS; ubuntu + krita + libreoffice. it's tricky sometimes but it's genuinely doable.
I've heard from several people the one somewhat reliable in is knowing somebody on the inside of the place you're applying to. At this point having somebody being able to vouch for you is helpful to separate your resume from the slosh pile.
It's rough out there. Wishing you luck.
