I used to say "laughs in `VT_Remote`" at the RTO stuff, now it's getting closer to "cries in `VT_Remote`" with the number of full remote roles decreasing
Mostly a joke, plenty of full remote oppos out there still
Just not with Google or Meta (you know, the best salaries)
Unless you are principal level
😞

Then apply to PE+ roles 👍

Bill told me, without telling me directly, that I wouldn't cut the mustard at Meta for a remote-friendly role. My assigned Google recruiter simply said "I wanted to let you know our remote roles are very limited at the moment."
Given my hit rate, I need to shift my targets down, not up, sadly
j
True for everyone, though
Look at it as an opportunity to decompress

You will be fine. The interview style and content can change for PE+ interviews. You may find that for a given org you are exactly what they need …

Less stress
And what Darach said
d
Worst case - they say yes and you get paid more to learn on the job again 🤷

I am interviewing with Home Depot for a Principal role, but their leveling is whacked out. Also still waiting to hear on next steps 🙏
j
I am interviewing for CTO / CIO roles
Why not
d
+1 Only way to discover how near and how to close the gap and/or which type of CIO / CTO roles are out there
n
You have encouraged me to broaden my application base in both directions. Thanks!

Go forth
All the practice you can get

Yep
