Stop Wasting Time On Fake Remote Jobs

A simple solution for serious remote workers
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.
