With all due respect, what kind of bargaining chip is that gonna be if U.S. dev work starts shifting to remote as the norm? Your higher cost of living in the Bay Area would count against you.
- SpicyLemonZest 6y agoMany of the bigger companies are continuing to expand their office footprint even though they have nobody in offices right now, and it’s very much conventional wisdom among the people signing checks that in-person collaboration makes a big difference. More companies are certainly getting more friendly to it, but a near future where remote work is the default seems very implausible.
- ericmcer 6y agoI don't think remote will be the norm in 5ish years, I could be totally wrong, but I think in person work offers things that remote cannot, and things will go back to the way they were in a few years. In that case companies looking for in person will be pulling from a smaller pool of engineers who stayed in the bay area during this time of exodus, hence more bargaining power.
