It's been 20+ months of remote. The world had changed. Accept it.

How to be a competative employer in the New Normal:

-Remote completely
-Yearly company wide team building week in an exotic resort (think Deloitte University) + Quarterly team based meetup at a WeWork
-WFH setup & wifi / cell phone paid + $X stipend for coffee / lunch etc. Virtual hh.
-training budget
-good team culture and reasonable WLB
-holiday time shut down for min 1 week
-leverage Slack, GSuite, Jira, Asana, etc

As a former consultant I don’t see a firms training campus (e.g., Deloitte University) as “exotic”. Glorified hotel in Westlake.

AP1 - I guess some jobs like the one you’re referring to won’t be going remote. However, all the other jobs that can go remote, will go remote is my prediction. From an employee standpoint that is what they want and if employers don’t offer that for jobs that can go remote then they will have challenges finding workers.

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
