Comment I thought everyone knew this was the tradeoff (Score 1) 184
A bunch of people I know who work for places like Google, Meta, etc. decided to leave the Bay Area and work remotely when they were a bit older and wanted a cheaper place to raise their family. They all told me that they were happy with where they were in their career and knew that they didn't want to climb the corporate ladder any longer.
Those who are so desperate to become a corporate overlord are more than happy to go into the office.
