The amount of on-site only job listings now in 2024 is insane.

I cannot believe you people will work for these companies and managers that require on-site and not fight back. We're losing our power. I hope nobody applies to these jobs.

Datadog, on-site only in NYC, Paris, Boston and Tel Aviv.. lmao. I live in one of the USA HCOL cities (not those, I'm Denver/Austin) and I wouldn't go near those places rent wise. $3500/month for a 2 bedroom is high enough for me to sit on my computer and write go. I've worked at 4 companies in the last decade moving off of Datadog to Grafana and they require on-site in NYC to write log chutes and charging an insane amount for their product while paying their NYC engineers $300k+. Wild.

Skill growth while working remotely slows and plateaus. There's plenty of evidence for this at this point, and I attribute most of the catastrophe in junior engineers at the big companies to it.

I'd rather work hybrid, getting working time at home is great, but I'm not foolish enough to cripple myself long-term by insisting on favoring short-term comfort.

Do you work for global companies? I'm in a major city that has a horrible/non-existant tech comnmunity so if I took a "local" job I'd drop my salary by at least $80k. I have worked for Denver companies and the vibe is completely different though, which is nice. Like, everyone will know Wednesday is a great skiing day so half the company leaves to go ski and nobody cares. Or we have hockey playoffs or whatever everyone expects you might be celebrating.

Can't do that at my globo corp which can barely handle setting meetings in my time zone.. but pays way more..
