I love working for "companies that don't require this" and shipping (in Elon's view) non-"great new products"... and being able to spend time with my family every afternoon/evening...
A tip: If you are looking for something, you should make the person that actively pursue opportunities. You shouldn't expect someone to go into your profile, get your email and write to you.
Now, if you are not looking for a job, the same applies for recruiters (they are the ones that should actively look for you at that point).
On the other I know that there's a social/societal benefit to keeping remote work normalized and I'm beginning to think it's worth the economic cost.
Edit: I can’t reply because of the stupid rate limit soft-ban. I think there are definitely ICs that are equally (or more) productive at home. I don’t think this is true for the general population, or even the general population of tech workers. From what I’ve seen industries that require above-average collaboration have suffered the most.
A more accurate take is, many companies are unable to realise the economic value of remote work because they’re still operating as companies that only know how to realise the economic value of collocated work. Musk is one of them. He’s right… about his own deficiencies.
The video game industry has also been heavily impacted. Fields with lots of collaboration report the same.
If you’re a rockstar IC I can see why you’d think it doesn’t matter.
Been WFH for 11 years and no I don't slack off.
