About $115K/annum working remotely—probably about the same as if not. As @stephencanon said, an employer that suspected there was a downside in productivity for remote workers (and I'd say it's at least equally likely that working remotely results in higher productivity on average) could assuage their own concerns by remembering the significant (~50% of salary?) savings from not having to pay for air conditioning, heating, security, probably some office equipment (I provide my own printers, for example, since they're not terribly useful for remote work anyway), and various other bits of overhead.


Can I ask what your job is? Sounds like you won the remote working game


Sounds similar to me. Living in BC, doing Rails programming fulltime for a company in Toronto. Fly out for a week for quarterly meetings, but otherwise fully remote (and timezone shifted).

Started initially as a fully-remote team, but as the company's grown and staff has rotated, I'm the only fully remote guy still there. Coworkers take an occasional work-from-home day though.


What do you work on specifically?
