How about be willing to hire experienced engineers who don't have remote experience?

Every time I've applied for a remote job, this seems to have been the sticking point. I'd just like employers to start with the assumption that I'm a professional who wouldn't slack off all day if I didn't have someone to babysit me.

I think this just depends on the employer. I saw that statistic from an Upwork report. 40% of companies are not good with remote. If you have ever worked out of a coffee shop or home, you have remote experience!
