A year ago I moved to an HCOL area to accept a new position, however, I do not go into the office daily. I just go whenever my team needs to be in office. Was wondering has anyone moved out of an HCOL area to save money on rent and was it frowned upon when your firm found out? With inflation and rent going up I’m considering moving 3 hours away where rent is half the cost I’m paying now.

The danger is when companies start requiring more in office. Google going back on WFH is a dagger in the back.

It usually works for about a year but when raises come around they just won't give you one.

I see your point @kpmg 2 but as BDO1 mentioned for existing employees. I feel like I’m being wasteful spending a ton on rent to live near the office to only work from home. I know you might ask why not just go into the office. I’ve tried several times however the office is nearly empty and even partners aren’t even in daily so it’s pointless just to be in the office with just the receptionist and maybe a few others.

So you think you should be paid more for the same job because you started in HCOL and moved to MCOL?

Your salary will be adjusted accordingly.

Hi everyone!

After years of hard work, I just got my first position in a leadership role! Yay! I’ll be leading a team of 12.
I wanted to know if you had any tips for me, things you wish you knew before, or things previous leaders did for/to you that you found admirable or stayed with you. I want to make sure I’m there for them and want to be a leader they will remember positively.

Thank you so much!!
