From my fairly large sample size talking to colleagues, friends, and our users, perspective is an extremely important component to the decision making here. The context in which people work and perspective on their impact/earnings/learning has shifted, and I don't just mean remote work. Things have been moving pretty fast for the past two years no matter what corner of the uni/meta-verse you are in. Like many things your work, work routine, and everything built around it can be a fine balance of avoiding disruptions while you charge ahead in whichever track you are on. An opportunity to take a step back is likely prompting a lot of second guessing. The number of opportunities to do so are increasing. Competitor wages make headlines, opportunities change and maybe most importantly, your friends are no longer in another office building but messaging you just like your coworkers. So much of current the BigCorp HR playbook came out of post WWII "sign-up and fight with us for your whole career" model. It will be interesting to see this evolve through a new cycle - and even more interesting to see if it continues into a major downturn.
