I wish that to be true as I lay awake at 4 am counting the pointy spots on my textured ceiling and lamenting my departure from academia

If you’re currently unemployed, no. But I wouldn’t leave a job for that.

IMO a lot is going to change in commercial real estate. Their model may be favored by ppst-covid. presumably, the execs who drove it into the ground are all gone. Depends on your risk tolerance.

That business model is a tough sell during a recession and a pandemic.

There’s too much invested there for it to completely go away - they just will have to change the way they do business. The non-lease leasing situation may be favorable in the future.

I dunno. If offices have figured out they don’t need people on site, and can save mega cash by letting folks wfh, and some people will not want to do that all the time...I could see we work type places being huge.
Not sure it’ll play that way, but it could! If companies spend $10k a year per employee in office (that the est I heard in HCOL areas), then giving folks $5k a year in WFH cash to do as they please-buy a desk, spend time at wework, get a larger apt- is not a bad solution.

Yes
