What percentage of a pay decrease would you accept to work from home? If your job said come into the office, or take a 30% cut and work from home, would you do it?
- human 5y agoIf I were making above 100k then yes and I would locate either in a cheap rural area or another country with affordable cost of life. My SO works in construction so that won’t happen. No WFH there.
- mch82 5y agoZero pay cut. Why should a person take a pay cut in exchange for being more effective at home?
- silicon2401 5y agoBecause I would take your job for a pay cut, if it let me be completely remote.
- RestlessMind 5y agoHere is how CFO and finance people are thinking: 1. give only 15% pay cut -> 2. train people to WFH -> 3. build all the necessary systems to make WFH effective -> 4. Leverage those systems and start hiring new workers, for much cheaper than the cheapest US workers, from other countries one at a time -> 5. Stop hiring within US My company is already on 4 and may soon move to 5. Is that a future you want? You may take a 15-20% paycut and enjoy your suburban luxury lifestyle for a few years. Beyond that, as the WFH from foreign countries kicks in, you will see that there won't be many job openings at a high salary for your role.
