Is it crazy to want to live in the city even with fully remote jobs? It’s way more expensive but I love it here and don’t want to move.

Depends if you enjoy it! I’m pretty much fully remote and actually decided I don’t enjoy city life- rent is expensive I can’t often go to the places I want to, and the lack of space. For the same money, I’m looking to relocate to have somewhere where I can’t the hear neighbours having intimate moments!

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?

Hello Everyone,

I have been working with Kantar (a market research company) for 10 months now. The company has given me permanent work from home. Work is quite good and I am able to learn many things here. Also, my manager is very supportive and patient.
The only thing is about compensation, I have a package of 14 lpa with 6 YOE.
I'm thinking of switching to some company based in Pune.
What should I do?

I went from agency to in house PR 1.5 years ago (I’m at a prof services firm in nyc).

Is this normal in the corporate, non agency world? Not sure if this is just due to the pandemic and WFH, but I was under the impression that in house life would be more chill.
