I am thinking about changing my job to fully remote as pandemic is nearing its end, and I am trying to find the list of companies that went fully remote so I can apply to those companies. Thank you

Almost every company went fully remote. I guess you want a list of companies that will stay remote, and specifically stay remote for your role.

I would reverse engineer the approach to finding the most suitable openings for your role and filter out the ones that are not remote.

There are sites like remoteok.io which were always listing "remote ok" roles, even before the pandemic.

Fully remote is probably excessively limiting. There are many companies that are very remote-friendly but which still have an office/offices.
"Probably" ? Sounds like you don't actually have any experience on the matter and are guessing.

There are numerous fully-remote companies that make it work. That doesn't mean it works for everyone, but it definitely proves that it isn't inherently "excessively limiting".

I would take this with a grain of salt. Amazon is listed, but most roles cannot be done in ANY location. I had a recruiter reach out and it was made very clear that I would have to be in Seattle for that role.

My interpretation of "fully remote" is any job, anywhere (unless your physical presence in an office is part of the job).

>A list of semi to fully remote-friendly companies

may have been a semi remote role

Agree. I've been working remote for 15+ years now (I'm in Canada).

Today I see much clearer job postings (e.g., "Anywhere in US, No Canada, must be in CT/ET"). You still have to figure out the billing thing (Contract, FT or Canadian Proxy Entity), but it's better overall I find, likely due to Covid.

These kinds of sites are good for leads, but you still have to wade through the details.

We have 7000+ fully remote jobs listed on AngelList Talent that you can apply to (angel.co/jobs). There's also some granular remote filters: https://cln.sh/Q4dmSd
A few publications have extensive info on this. One of them is Remote How (https://remote-how.com/). Seriously, they did a release around last year with hundreds of remote companies. You can email them to see if they'd be willing to share their list with you. They have a great pulse on the world of remote work.
