Seriously, the number of companies still not hiring remotes is ridiculous. We work in the most flexible industry out there yet most companies still want you sitting in a chair in some downtown office of a giant and expensive city. No thank you. No you don't need to make your entire team remote but you can easily augment a large portion with talented remotes. Keep your high living costs and horrendous commutes, been there done that. There are other options.
- jaggederest 11y agoI deeply enjoy when recruiters are convinced that I'll move to SF for their company, even though I haven't over the past decade. They also balk when I ask for the cost of living adjustment to make the move (+180%, give or take).
- x0x0 11y agoHell, I live in the peninsula and I ask for a $40k ($2k/mo after taxes) raise to cover the rent differential to move back to sf in order to be in the office 5 days per week and companies are taken aback.
- shlant 11y agotry moving to SF short term, put in the hours in the office of a flexible, reasonable company and then ask to move to remote after they are more comfortable with you. It worked for me :)
- ionforce 11y agoIf working with remotes was so easy, don't you think people would have done it more by now? Clearly there are benefits (worth to many people) of being collocated.
