Asking for a friend who is interviewing right now: for life reasons he would really appreciate a fully remote job. Do you think prospective employers/hiring managers have fixed remote policies or is there flexibility if they're willing to give up some compensation? Is there an approach that is better than just asking directly?

Asking about a full range of companies, not just FAANG.

As a potential employee your friend needs to first consider what the potential employer wants.

Your friend needs to demonstrate that they are an exceptional hire, only then does negotiations about compensation and working arrangements come into play.
