    Hell, I’m looking at taking a $30k total compensation hit and jumping to a remote first organization. Given I’m trying to leave for many other reasons, but if they weren’t remote first the decision would be much harder.

      That’s right around the cut I took, totally worth it. As a bonus, the new company expects me to be here when I’m working, and to NOT be here when I’m not working. Seems like such a basic concept, but I was ‘on’ or ‘on call’ 24/7 for years at the old job. No more of that either. Quality of life is worth a bunch of money to me…

        My experience has been the opposite. I make way more remote, because I’m able to travel the world remotely, and can go where the money is. No more needing to put up with local wages that have been stagnant for a decade, and a stagnant local culture that’s stuck 30 years in the past.

        That’s what they are really scared about.
