A more highly populated area seems like it would be more expensive. What’s you logic behind the question? I’m curious
Nope. I think I developed social anxiety over the pandemic. I don't think I could withstand living in a highly populated area again.
Sorry I understand my question is vague. But to clarify with remote ultimately shrinking and possible higher job losses incoming year overall. Would you make the move to the state your job was originally located or stay put ?
To put more context Some of my colleagues have made the move from high populated areas where there is a stronger job market i.e California or New York towards various places that don’t offer the same opportunities.
I’d argue remote and hybrid working is only going to increase….look at all the zombie office towers in NYC and London for example. We are going to see a huge shift towards downsizing in offices because (generally speaking) they are one of the largest fixed overheads a company has.
Ditch the expensive RE, free up cash for better things, send out laptops to employees and provide a rented serviced office for employees who need it.
I think a lot of these responses are full of wishful thinking. If recession comes, layoffs likely come. Remote work won't be preference for some employers as it is harder to justify employee expenses without knowing what you're getting. It's simply more difficult for managers to monitor output in a remote context and therefore harder to justify the cost of an employee. I think if a recession comes, it definitely puts a big dent into the idea that all work will be remote work.
Poorly thought out example: PM moved to Bozeman in 2021 but company based in SF. Gets laid off in 2023. Hiring slows everywhere and although some remote offerings are still to be had, in-person positions are available in much larger numbers in cities (i.e., highly populated area). What would you rather do? Increase your odds of getting a job by being available to both remote and in-person positions by being willing to move? Or stay put?
Personally I would rather be available to all situations available.
Example a buddy of mine moved from a major metropolitan area to a small suburban area where there is no real job market that pays the wages he got from previous employer. He got laid off back in July and still looking for a job.
I’m not sure I understand your question. Why would recession force one/why would it change where they live? I’m not saying there isn’t a reason I’m just not seeing it and want more clarification.
I don't think I really do either.....It seems very confusing hahaha.
Are you asking if we would return to a big city to find a different job/need to return to the office? I guess if I really had to but it would not be first choice.
I don't understand your question completely but I think I never want to go back to a highly populated city. I just don't see myself living in that tyoe of area anymore.
Going back to a highly populated area does not necessarily mean that I have to interact with them, right? You mean just the place of business or is it the place where I stay? but mostly populated areas mean high cost of living.
Hmm. I think it depends on the stability of the company, OP. If it is stable enough to withstand the recession, then I think there's no need to move back to a highly populated area.
I dont think moving into a new area is going to help me if we are in a recession so no.
It is a hard decision but I if recession hits, I might not have any other choice. I have social anxiety but if that's what it takes, then I'd go back.
It depends on the situation. As much as possible, I wanna keep my WFH status. But if I was left with no choice, then I'd go back.
