Are you die-hard WFH, a hybrid fan or happy to work onsite?
As the Great ‘Return to Office’ drive gathers momentum, employer demands around how much time needs to be spent in the office are a huge factor for IT candidates.
Here we’ve provided you with a snapshot of which jobs are most likely to allow WFH, hybrid, or onsite work in the current IT market
WFH/Full Remote:
- Software Developers/Programmers: Many programming tasks can be done remotely with easy access to necessary development tools and collaboration platforms.
- Data Analysts: Data analysis often involves working with large datasets and performing statistical analysis, which can be done remotely with the right tools.
- Technical Writers: Creating documentation and writing technical content can be efficiently and effectively done from a remote location.
- IT Support (Remote): Providing technical support to users and resolving software or hardware issues can be done remotely via phone, chat, or remote desktop tools.
Hybrid (Combination of Remote and Onsite):

- Business Analysts: Requirement gathering, stakeholder meetings, and workshops may benefit from onsite interactions, while analysis and documentation tasks can be performed remotely.
- IT Consultants: Often based remotely with onsite client meetings.
Onsite
- Data Centre Engineers: Typically require a physical presence in the data centre, as work is primarily conducted on-site.
