We should not. That money is better served in the hands of the PPMDs and the savings will trickle down once their piss reaches us at the bottom

They had us in the first half, not gonna lie

It's called salary. Renegotiate it

Underrated comment.

Salary is supply vs demand
The biggest cost is resources and tech
Rather than work from anywhere, employers can hire from anywhere: better resources who probably didn't want to come to New York or San Francisco

Fair point

Some of us get our cell phone plans paid for, under the presumption that we’re mobile.

If we want to open that can of worms... I’d rather keep my cell phone plan 😂

We should be compensated for overtime. It's a war crime having no overtime pay.

Are we actually saving much on rent? I’m sure most big firms have multi-year leases that they may have negotiated down but are still on the hook for.

We broke several of our leases since we are reducing our real estate footprint; it was more cost effective to get out of a long term lease than to pay for space we wouldn’t be using anytime soon.

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?
