Hi Freedom Seekers,

You know that sinking feeling when you're three rounds into interviews and suddenly hear:

"Oh, by the way, we'll need you in the office twice a week for collaboration."

Or worse:

"We're remote for now, but we're looking at bringing everyone back by Q4."

I've been tracking this trend, and it's getting worse. Out of 200 "remote" job listings I analyzed this month, 134 had hidden location requirements buried in the fine print or revealed only during interviews.

That's 67% of your applications going to companies that will eventually disappoint you.

Time to get smarter about where you invest your energy.
