I stuck to my guns on WFH.

Been in negotiations with a company that is semi local. A little more than an hour away. They wanted me in office 3 days a week, despite having many people fully remote already. I said I would do one

Been in negotiations with a company that is semi local. A little more than an hour away. They wanted me in office 3 days a week, despite having many people fully remote already. I said I would do one day per week, tops, and only if it's flexible. Happy to say they caved and I will be considering an offer shortly. If we all don't give in to RTO they won't have a choice but to offer WFH. I know not everyone will feel the same but hopefully this encourages others to keep the gains we have made. UPDATE: The company ended up hiring someone with a couple more YOE for less than what I was asking (same as I make now) but fully remote. This market sucks. But a win for WFH at least? Turns out their RTO policy is just for locals, which is fucking stupid.
