Huh? Why would you apply?

I started in NYC and then moved away for personal reasons after 6 months. I used to travel to NYC every week for about a year then slowly started going less and less. Covid then hit and I’ve been remote since.

What would constitute success in this scenario? Getting a remote offer? I've applied to jobs out of state, but made clear that I would need a remote role. I still scored an interview, but not an offer.

I reached out to the hiring manager on LinkedIn, basically explained why this was my dream job, but that due to family obligations would be unable to relocate. It worked well enough to get an interview 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m in a similar boat. I need to move for a year for my spouse’s job but would like to not get barred in a new state. Would prefer to just work remote for a year and wish that was more common

There’s payroll tax implications if you’re not working in the same state as the employer (not to mention potential UPL). Even if granted, I’d be surprised if they didn’t put a cap (say 90 days, when the probation period ends).

We’re not in COVID anymore, those wonky workarounds and perks (hello 2.5% fixed 30yr mortgage!) aren’t going to happen again.

I'm the hiring mgr for designers in my org. I recently discovered pay band information given to me by the HR generalist I'm working with on hiring was outdated and updated bands had been released over the summer (prior to my hire date). The outdated information had led me to believe a prime candidate was out of range. Aside from incompetence, can anyone think of a reason why HR might have withheld information about the pay bands? I assume mgrs see the full monty when it comes to pay...right?

Transactional associate. Lateraled 6 months ago and one of the biggest pain points has been my new firm’s inclination to “hop on a call”, which of course requires every single stakeholder to join. The end result being every call has 25 people on it and nothing actually gets done because no one wants to ask a question that could come off as silly. It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.
