Anyone RTOed after being fully remote and loved the change? If so - why? I’m in the running for a full time onsite role but I’ve been remote for years and am having a hard time coming to terms mostly with the commuting.

I once calculated how much more I would have to be paid in order to take an on-site position and it came out to $100,000, no joke. It included parking, train fare, coffee, and lunch, additional childcare, dog walks, and compensation for my time which is an hour and a half each way door-to-door, plus truing it up for taxes for the additional costs that I pay with post tax money.

Commute time 1hr - I use it to catch up on news and podcasts. I need quiet time and that's how I use it

I don't drive, and that helps even with 2 transfers

RTO gave me a tighter schedule. I have to do stuff I was lax with like gym and I actually shower now 😂

I like people and being able to expand beyond my team who are remote has been nice

It's been nice changing scenery and eating out

Cycling to work can take 1hr. So I've been trying to do that a the weather warms up

I really enjoy being onsite 2 or 3 days a week. It lets me separate work from home, I have conversations with coworkers I wouldn’t otherwise converse with, and I get to hear about things that are happening outside of my product that help me think about the bigger picture.

I haven’t worked in office 5 days a week since 2012, and have been 3 (or fewer) days onsite since 2019.

I would still prefer remote, even if it comes with a pay cut.

Advice on applying to PM jobs with 1yr APM experience?

I’ve been working as an APM at my current company for 1yr, and have basically been doing the work of a full blown PM the entire time. I’ve lead several features from start to finish and made sure to mention in my resume that I have been doing everything a regular PM does. Has anyone ever hired an APM for a PM role or done it yourself? Any tips? Advice?
