Why remote roles are becoming extinct in 2026?

2•rohansrma•2h ago

I've been looking for new remote roles (marketing) for a while but there's no good role hiring remotely everywhere. I'm from India. I previously worked big UK and USA based startups but I left them because of relocation issues.

Is this just me or is the remote roles already dead?

OBBBA act made hiring non-US people for dev role virtually impossible from tax standpoint. Plus there are too many "overemployment" scammers and employers woke up to that.

Yes, you're right. Also with the rise of AI, people are using AI tools to solve small problems and build projects on their own rather than hiring someone to do the work for them.

It’s not just you. Remote jobs aren’t dead, but work from anywhere roles have become much rarer.
