Our firm has made a lot of progress with flexibility (even going to open PTO in January) and this article makes a lot of sense to me personally. I take plenty of vacation but stay available. Working from home has also made me much more productive without the commute. I work a lot of hours but my kids don’t realize it because it doesn’t impact our time together as much. I expect other parents are on social media but I spend that time on email.

Good point - and there is a trade off the guy in the article took a 30 pay cut -
For some of us that just does not work

I’m just glad someone realized that we’re not all millennials, it’s one of my biggest pet peeves

I might just be too cynical but it just feels like I’m asked to work 80 hour weeks in return for being able to “work from home”

Does anyone have any insight into accounting roles at Amazon, particularly in the Arlington/DC area? An Amazon recruiter reached out about accounting roles, but the posts in this bowl are about Seattle. Trying to decide if the culture/wlb/pay is even worth looking into since it sounds like the interview process is intense. Base pay seemed pretty low in other posts, but they were a year old and for Seattle.
