Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

That’s a tricky situation — the title sounds impressive, but the commute and cost can really add up over time. Since salary plays a huge role in decisions like this, you might want to check your exact in-hand salary after deductions.
I recently built a free tool that calculates your monthly take-home pay — it really helps in understanding what you’ll actually receive.

Hope it helps — and good luck with your decision!
Thank you !
its peso , in PH btw
Ohhhh I was so confused because 28K is like under the poverty threshold in the US. Does PH mean the Philippines? Just haven't seen that written out like that before. I do think your commute seems extra expensive, but you said it's full time remote right? It's hard for me to say whether or not this is a good salary because I don't understand the local economy but have you researched market averages?
Hmmm…removing the senior but keeping the job responsibilities the same sounds weird. Do you have a sense for what you would be “promoted” and your job title would be upgraded to senior?
