Competitive advantage for whom? The company?

It's gonna be hard to overcome to employee advantage of having a potentially absurd effective-hourly-rate when you combine a high salary with extremely low actual hours that only remote work can provide.

You can go from 40-60 hours (factoring in overhead like commute) to 15-20 and 2-3x your hourly rate. That's a huge efficiency gain.

It might be an efficiency gain, but I think OP's reasoning is how much value you're extracting throughout the day.

Of course this is subject to the type of work you do your own personality etc etc.
