Ask HN: How does one negotiate for a remote job?

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.

You could apply to companies that are remote first like Atlassian or Discord or Gitlab

Atlassian is remote first but not digital nomad friendly. If the life reason is travel you can do it but only X days a year.

X being 3 months. If you are nomading to somewhere within company legal footprint you can transfer there.
