For every remote employee in the midwest making six figures, there’s probably someone working 3x a week in your NYC office at the same salary, living paycheck to paycheck, and can’t get a raise while you live luxuriously in your chosen castle on the hill. Both have merits but with RTO, it’s clear to see who has made their choice to stay.

Your enemy isn’t the worker you think is in a better spot than you. It’s the boss that won’t pay you what you’re worth.

At larger companies, salary decisions are made by structural systems such as HR. Often, your direct supervisor has little say than offering the standard 3% raise.

And most companies pay those remote workers VASTLY less than they pay folks in NYC and other major markets. They aren’t paid based on talent or job - the Salaries are based on where you live.

Especially WPP.

Had a very unpleasant experience with the entire interview process at Paytm. First of all they kept all three rounds in a single day . It started from the morning and ended up till the final round at late evenings. After all the rounds were cleared, the HR asked for the expected package, and when I gave him my quote which was just 35% more than my current CTC, he got reluctant and said we only have a budget of an X amount which was just 10% more than my current CTC. Who on earth does that..?
