You serious don't have a chair and a desk at home already?
You can buy a small desk for 100$ and a chair for another 100$. A monitor can be had for another 200$.
In addition to this you can now live a drastically cheaper life. Moving to a city where rent is 1/3rd as much, you don't need a car, etc.
Let's say you get a job for a company that's located in Los Angeles. In la a one-bedroom is about $2,500, and you need a car which on the low end is going to cost you between a $500 to $700.
If they make you come into the office your core monthly living expenses, even before nice things like food and electricity are about $3200.
However, if they allow you to work remote you can live in say Philadelphia, find a nice apartment for around $1,400 and live car free. A metro pass is like 100$ That's 1700$ a month back in your pocket.
How can you ask for more, of course you might still prefer to live in LA for personal reasons, but then you're choosing to live like that.
I know I'm going to enjoy saving an extra $1,700 a month, not to mention getting up and hopping on the train even if you're in some magical Utopian city where public transit is free, is much harder than just logging in.
Most of that overhead is stuff like healthcare, payroll tax, etc. It's going nowhere.
