I still think that remote in general won't be that prevalent after covid. Remote with SF/NY salaries? I seriously doubt that they will keep this up long term or that many companies will do the same.
- solosoyokaze 6y agoAccess to world class talent, not paying for office space and greatly improved corporate culture all seem like things that are going to stick. Every new startup I’ve seen in the past year has been 100% remote since day one.
- superbcarrot 6y agoYou're right about the reduced cost but I can't agree that remote leads to improved corporate culture (that's largely personal preference though). > Every new startup I’ve seen in the past year has been 100% remote since day one. Any reasonable company that had the option to work remotely has done so over the past year, it's hardly a trend that you can project into the future.
- solosoyokaze 6y agoI’m saying that new companies that were remote from day one will never be non-remote. They’re not going to go buy a bunch of office space and force their disparate workforce to relocate. All hiring has been remote the past year, that’s not really reversible.
- ghaff 6y agoInstead, they'll do like Basecamp and get people together a couple times a year. If you hired people on the basis of being remote and they're all over the place, if at the end of 2021 you tell them they all have to relocate to San Francisco, expect to hear a whole lot of big "Nope"s.
- superbcarrot 6y agoIt shouldn't be some switcharoo that the company pulls off anyway. Every company that I've talked in the past year has clarified whether they are remote indefinitely or remote only while the pandemic lasts.
