- sjg007 8y agoAh yes.. Logan’s run logic.
- ryanmcbride 8y agoAny company that lays me off for having boundaries is a company I don't want to work for. Work-life balance is pretty much the _only_ think I optimize for when looking for jobs now. I'm fine being flexible once in a while but if the default assumption is that I will be available on slack every night, I'm not gonna stay there.
- president 8y agoAgree completely but the amount of decent companies with work-life balance is rare in the Bay Area. If they exist, they won't for long.
- ryanmcbride 8y agoStartups I agree, but working for a more mature company makes it much easier to find this balance. Also, unlimited remote means that I don't _have_ to find a job in the Bay Area. The tradeoff there though is that Non-Bay companies offer much less compensation.
- dasil003 8y agoDepends entirely on management priorities. I make sure to never take a job that judges me on butt-in-seat or mean-time-to-email-response. That way I can build skills that actually matter and take that to my next role whether it be at my own startup, in mgmt at bigco, or as a consultant.
