It is mostly driven by housing costs. A lot (read most) of the tech companies are located in the most expensive housing real estate markets. If I’m looking for a job, I most definitely will try to make sure I don’t end up having to spend more than half of my “in hand, guaranteed income” is not spent on housing. The companies are pushing RTO in a bone headed way, will then have to pay the premium of having to hire talent in those expensive markets. It’s a fixable problem that companies don’t seem to want to fix.
