Completely agreed on this. I'm in a similar position - currently working both full-time on-site as well as part-time remotely; however, I'll be definitively looking for a remote role after my full-time is over.

Ignoring remote means that you will have to pick from much smaller pool of talent just for the convenience of having someone physically sit with the other people in the office. I've experienced much more communication problems in on-site roles than in all of my remote career. I wish more companies would embrace remote and stop associating it with outsourced cheap labor and low quality work.
