Which tech companies are profitable, pay in the same range as those 6 and are still allowing fully remote work?
In this environment, I wouldn’t move to any company that’s not profitable. Not that profitability prevents layoffs. I definitely wouldn’t hang my hat on “equity” in a non public company.
I work at AWS. But my position “cloud consulting” was always designed to be fully remote even pre-Covid. I was assigned to a “virtual office” when I was hired.
If they had changed that, there would have had to have been a long conversation about compensation increase. I agreed to my compensation explicitly because it was fully remote in a lower cost of living area.
I still honestly would have only stuck it out until the job market improved.
