I have a remote job currently but there has been a ton of uncertainty with acquisitions. Every day feels like I’m fighting for my life hoping to perform well and keep my job. Not sure when promotions will happen. I am doing a good job, but I have a potential opportunity that has come in with a new title and higher pay. It’s requiring me to be in office full time in a different state. Is it worth packing my bags and leaving?

Is it a state you'd actually like to move to? If so, I wouldn't pass on a better title and pay. Especially if you're young. Once you're in your 30s, it becomes a lot more difficult to pack up and move. Nowhere near as big a deal when you don't have kids, family or a house, and speaking from experience, getting out of your comfort zone is a great thing.

NYC. Good for the industry but not ideal for me. I need to ask for an NYC salary if I move there. Very true with a kids family and house it’s nearly impossible especially if you’re not the breadwinner

I think it depends on your situation. Can you easily relocate and move? Or would you be moving an entire family, kids, etc.? I think you should factor in all of those things before making a decision.

No family yet just me! But have a lease I would have to break so a few thousand dollars. I think it’s weighing the risk of if I’ll like the job and if it would be stable once I move

If there is a case that we have to quarantine again. Do you all think it is possible for store associates to work remotely? If so, what are some ways this could work?

Hello Everyone,

What should I do?

Hello Fishes,

I currently hold offers from below:
IBM - 15.5 LPA
CTS - 18.5 LPA
PWC India - 16 LPA
Oracle Financial Services Software(OFSS) - 21 LPA

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Today I had my 2nd round interview with EY GDS and got rejected.
Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?

Please provide your valuable inputs.

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
