It's my observation that when I worked remotely and traveled around the world at the same time, I had the best health state in my life; that was incomparable to e.g. a previous employment with open-plan office with colleagues taking smoking breaks all the time, making the indoor air nasty, and being guaranteed to catch some long-lasting small to medium sickness every year (e.g. half of the office coughing a bit for 1-2 months). Now visiting Google/Facebook and seeing desks crammed next to each other... I meet people outside, throw own parties, visit gyms/saunas, so I am exposed to latest "flu trends", yet remote work made my illnesses infrequent (well, they do happen if I can't stop and don't cut working time to 8 hours/day...). Also, the stress is way lower, I don't need to look at a boss' grumpy face that overcompensates for their lack of capabilities by ramping up their controlling/dominance aspects.

OP here!
RemoteMore vs Triplebyte is an easy question.
Triplebyte: "Do you have remote opportunities? No. Right now, most of the companies we work with are hiring full-time in-office engineers. In the future, we hope to offer more remote opportunities."

On the remote work and getting sick, I don't have personal observations. I'll leave that question to others.
That said, you’re away from coworkers with kids. That’s the sickness that doesn’t help immunity. But once you have a kid of your own, all that worry goes out the window. Don’t mean to be a party pooper, but its all reality out here
*also how does this remotemore site compare to triplebyte?
