Yep people who work remote from a low COL area will benefit now and will benefit possibly even more once market pressure would start ramping up.
Whilst everyone wants to get paid as much as possible getting paid period is even better.
If you have a competitive advantage that would increase the likelihood of them making you an offer by asking for less because your housing costs only 50-25% of what it would in SV you’ll use eventually.
And whilst yes in a perfect world everyone would understand that they are eventually playing themselves but this is essentially the prisoners dilemma on a bigger scale and someone will flinch eventually and then the race to the bottom will start.
Eventually we may bounce back again towards working from a centralized location and then history will just repeat itself.
- Bombthecat 6y agoMy firm works with a huge telecom company, some 15 years or so. The first time i saw them going from central to decentral i was line :why? My colleagues, working longer with them, where like : meh its not the first time. They go from central to decentral every five or so years for two reasons : getting rid of old workers, and hiring cheaper new workers. They will probably do the same every few years..
