What would you have to get paid to be willing to go back to an office full time? My company wants to make everyone be in-office by the end of March (honestly, why?!) and I don't think the pay is good enough to justify that and lose remote lol

There is no amount of money I would accept to go into the office. At least in IT there is no reason to ever be in an office. The old concept of a cube farm no longer works.

I don't actually _hate_ the idea of being in an office, but for me it's the hours of not commuting each week that are kind of priceless. I live in a pretty rural area, so remote work also opens up way more potential employers for me, e.g. my current employer is a full day's drive away (never been to their office).

Seems like a good time to dust off your CV and see if there are any good opportunities available to you.

I'm not sure I could ever go back into an office full-time. Hybrid is a bit more reasonable in my opinion

My company is making it a condition of employment, so o guess I do have a number for now.

I calculated it awhile back. Commute time + cost alone was $50,000 more at my current rate to travel into the city. It would have to big a significant jump from that even to make me even consider it. I'd definitely have to hire someone to help me clean, or use laundry service as I'd be losing another 3 1/2-4 hours of my day in commute time.

Unless they're willing to count commute hours as hours worked I look at it as overtime which is time and a half. So I take the travel time on an annual basis, multiply by time and a half and add 25k for my mental health suffering on top of minimum salary requirements

You'll end up finding out that no one pays enough

I would say nothing. I do enjoy working from home with my dogs and constant snacks… but I was also far more active and connected better to my coworkers when I was in office. I think some of us have adjusted to working from home and have anxiety about going back.

It’s looking like my job is gonna start asking us to return to the office. We have an open office plan and before we wfh FT I would save all my work for my telework days bc I can’t get shit done in the office. I’m having major anxiety about them making this decision. I know I’m not alone that people don’t want to return to the office. My ADHD and the open office just makes working from the office a nightmare and I’m feeling really nervous and kind of resentful.

Hello everyone,

I hope you all are having a good day,

This is to inform that I have been selected in Amdocs as software developer for pune, my current ctc is 13.4 with total 6 years of IT experience in my home city.

In HR call asked for 20 LPA, should have gone

for bigger number than this or this ctc is ok.

Also does Amdoc offer wfh?, as HR says till december only wfh is there, after that office will begin.

Please guide with your experiences🙏
