I haven't been in this situation, but I think it would really depend on a few factors: - Is my cash compensation adequate? A down-round can make stock grants worth almost zero unless there's a huge rebound. - Are people around me

My ideal is somewhere in the middle. I don't necessarily need a private office, but a shared space with a small team. This way, I'm privy to all conversations relevant to me. Knowing what's going on often trumps the productiv

I don't understand why there has to be such a divide. There can be a world where some companies are remote and it's a competitive advantage (ability to recruit from a wider pool of people) and other companies that are in-person an

I mean, it's not really dead. It has just flatlined in the short term, which makes sense. We are long past the point where most people are concerned about getting sick from COVID, so if your company hasn't called in workers yet, t

I'm gonna play devil's advocate even though I agree with your point. Firing people sucks. As a manager, it's a terrible feeling to tell someone they are out of a job. Not only that, but often times my own pay might be tied to
