Remote work is the ‘new normal’ today, but not long ago, it was one of the most coveted perks. Not many professions and companies were able to offer remote to their employees. But after the outbreak of Covid-19, organizations were forced to migrate their operations to digital platforms for remote accessibility.
Though many companies today offer remote or hybrid working, there is still a possibility of returning to the office as we enter the endemic stage of the Covid-19 outbreak. If you want to continue working from home, your safest bet is to look for jobs in companies with permanent remote operations. We have prepared a list of top companies offering fully remote jobs.
