Planning to join Industry: is it too much to ask to fly to the office city and stay in hotels when needed, instead of relocating?

How far is the flight?

Will the cost of travel outweigh the COL savings?

Extremely tough unless you’re an exec / middle management with very fancy background moving to an unknown semi-rural town.

I have seen VP of Ops pull this off when the headquarters is in a highly undesirable location.

You can ask, based on the role/unique skills, they may agree. If you are not an executive and not for short term — forget about it.

I’ve also seen this happen when a company was punching above their weight to get an in demand C suite candidate

Lol… yes… they’ll most likely just tell you to work remote.

I just wanted to share what I feel for the few months. No drive in my life, been in depression phase.I have recently resigned form the job. I am planning for a career switch, it's been 2 months now. Nothing is going in the right way, feeling very low and no confidence at all. Negativity from the family , relatives constantly invading me for the joblessness. Now I am at my home watching my friends moving abroad, me at the zero level.

Food for thought: the US is actually one of the most racially conscious places I’ve ever lived. Not saying we don’t have a LONG way to go and that there isn’t immediate important work needed.
But the amount of allies this movement has is incredible. Keep in mind this is just my experience and may not represent others- however, in many of the other places I’ve lived or traveled to, racism is almost tacitly accepted. You wouldn’t have people calling out taxi drivers for ignorance for example
