Detailed Answer
Remote work relies heavily on written communication (Slack, email, documentation). Fast typing reduces time spent on messages, allowing more focus on tasks. It also improves meeting notes, ticket responses, and report generation. With 60+ WPM, you can keep up with live chat customer support, real-time collaboration (Google Docs), and rapid coding. Slow typing leads to backlog and overtime. Additionally, faster typing makes you more attractive for remote data entry, transcription, virtual assistant, and content writing roles. In asynchronous teams, quick typed responses signal competence and reliability.
