Why are employers becoming so against remote work? What are they afraid we're doing? We've been getting our work done while WFH for years. I guess I don't understand what's changed.

It's much harder to justify middle management when everybody just gets their work done, in my opinion. Also, all those office buildings they paid a ton of money for just sitting there empty probably make the executives feel silly.

Above comment pretty much nailed it. It's not a productivity issue, that's for sure. I got way more done when I was WFH and overall productivity did not suffer one bit.

Because they can’t use their charisma effectively to push their agenda on everyone when we’re all remote. Leaders thrive on an audience. If everyone works remotely you just pull the rug out from under them. It’s the great equalizer. And that’s why they hate it.

I’m currently interviewing with a few top 10 firms and a couple top 100 firms for a mostly remote experienced associate/new senior role.

I’m struggling to figure out that out because I used to gauge it on the feeling I got while in their office during interviews. Any suggestions would be helpful :)

I'm non US citizen and thinking of moving back to EU. My plan is getting remote opportunities across the world and work as a freelancer. My speciality is Data analytics and BI (Qlikview, Tableau). 1) How likely I can get a gig from the US? 2) if a job looking for a remote 2-3 months contract do they care what country I'm in? 3) how can I compete Indian rates as I'm in Europe 60-70$ per hour as a BI consultant is a good rate but I see online rates as low 10$😫?

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
