Working from home often pays more than working in an office for jobs in the tech industry, new research has claimed.
The company HR Remote collected data on more than six million job advertisements from 2022 from employee resource Glassdoor and found that web developer and software engineering roles had the most opportunities for remote control compared to other occupations, accounting for 37% and 36% of the total distance. respective job market.
Web developers who work from home could also earn an average of $22,508 more than their on-premises counterparts, which is a 37% increase. The percentage difference between remote salaries and salaries for software engineers is slightly smaller, but overall they get paid more.
Salary plus benefits
It’s more or less the same for UK tech workers too. Again, web developers and software engineers make up the largest percentage of remote jobs, at 31% and 29% respectively, with the former earning £13,000 more than average for the role, and £6,500 for the latter.
Remote said that employees are at the forefront of this transition, and that it is employees who expect and seek roles that offer flexible and remote work arrangements. So, in order for companies to get their much-needed talents, they are advertising roles with these in mind.
Apart from specific job roles, Cian analyzed industries in general. In the UK, IT was the most popular industry for remote opportunities, with 13.9% of remote jobs. In the United States, IT came in third with 15.4%, followed by media and communications (15%) and management and consulting industries (19.4%).
Remote VP Nadia Vatalidis commented on the benefits of remote working for both employers and employees, with “a much greater selection of top-tier candidates and a reduced need for expensive office space among other benefits” for the former and “Increased flexibility and potential opportunity. work from anywhere in the world” for the latter.
Since the Covid-19 pandemic has forced many businesses to adopt remote work practices, arguments have come in from both sides about the continued commitment to such arrangements.
The latest trend is so-called hybrid working, which seems to strike a balance between new and traditional employment culture, where employees have the choice to come into the office at certain times and stay at home at others. It allows flexible working hours at times that best suit the individual.
Additional research from Slack found that employees may leave for new work if hybrid work is not available, as many workers were satisfied with the job and felt less stressed when they could work on this way.
On the flip side, employers face a greater security challenge as different endpoints are spread across multiple home networks, so protecting data is more important than ever and deserves the attention it deserves.
