Don't worry about it, seriously. If you'd like to work remotely then do so.

It took a little bit of work a decade back to find a great paying remote job. These days it's so much more simple even with some of the largest tech employers forcing people back into the office. I'd argue you don't want to work somewhere that "does remote since the pandemic". Apply at remote-only companies and if you're employable they'll find you a spot since they're dealing with brain drain too.

Hot take, but I've done this remote engineer thing for a long time. Feels like we're in the golden age of remote work compared to my experiences a decade back. Find the position in the world wherein you both enjoy your work and how/where you do it. It's out there, guaranteed.
