Is it worth travelling 4 hours daily for a company?

Folks, This is my first post. I wanted your input on switching my completely in-office job (mandatory 5 days in office with zero scope for WFH unless for emergencies). I’m looking for a remote-first company and willing to switch for 35-40% hike from my current CTC. I’m holding another job offer currently (30%hike) - during the initial screening they offered me Hybrid but after interviews they stated it’s mandatory WFO. Can anyone advise how the markets are looking and what expectations I should hold on to while on the job hunt? Any referrals in a remote-first organisation would be much appreciated. Location: Bangalore Expectation: Remote or Hybrid but location needs to be in Mumbai. Thanks folks for reading on till now!

Hi Folks, I’m currently working as a Senior Category associate and Got an offer from an X company but the role is of customer support they offered me because I had prior experience. My current pay is 5Laksh/Annum and they’re offering 8Lakhs for customer support role. 3 disadvantages I have that is 1.My current role is different and I don’t want to back to customer support again. 2. Currently working for 5 days with just one shift where as this company has 6 days with rotational shifts and offs. 3. The location to this office is 20kms where as my current office location is 10kms. Please help me make a decision? I should go for it for sake of salary or should I wait for same kind of role that I’m currently doing. Does this gonna effect my future career ??

25M, CSM role I have offers from 2 companies. Both are companies I admire and have managed them as a CSM in my current company and have excellent relationships. I’ve interviewed for both and the pay is what I expected however which one should I go with? Company A- 100% remote Company B- I admire this a bit more. When I asked for making an exception to let me do remote the founder said if I can move to Chennai for 6 months to get in sync with product/team and then go remote we can move forward. I have notions about moving to Chennai. If it was remote I would blindly select B. Confused right now which one to go with. I have some borrowed and some experienced notions about Chennai + I moved to BLR just in April 2024

Hey all, I am currently interviewing at a big bank in Dubai(on site)for frontend role but haven’t had any technical rounds with live coding or hard questions on js/react. They will pay me good money. Good means double of what I will get in India and zero tax. The only good thing is salary as of now. Should I take this opportunity seriously? Any advice? About me : Frontend developer with 4 years of experience and about to get laid off this week. Thanks

Currently I’m in a 600 member saas company with 23L CTC (60% fixed) - Account Management role. The culture is great and the work was joyful until 3-4 months back. Now its not that joyful nor am I enthusiastic about the company’s future. I have an offer from a 200 member saas company who has grown rapidly even in such economic conditions. Getting an offer of 18 to 20L (90% fixed) - CSM role. What would you choose if you were in my place?

Hey everyone, I am currently working as a security analyst working for a company that provides pentesting as a service to its clients. I am getting paid 17lpa fixed salary. I earn 80-90k from freelancing every month pre taxes. So should I switch or not. It's been 3 years I am in this company and I can't see much growth now. I will be doing the same work. The work is full remote and the culture of company s also nice and workload is fine. What should I do? Should I look for a product based company but most of them call onsite. I want remote work only that is mandatory.

Hello folks, I am working with a startup (now acquired by a big fintech) as FTE for 1.5 years now (Full stack dev) , my TC is 18 LPA (14.4 Fixed + Variable) in a permanent wfh model. The reason I want to switch is that my tech team is very small (4 people) and there is no senior person in my team from whom I can learn something, thus my learning has become stagnant technical wise. Should I try and switch company or stay in the same for more time, considering the current market scenario? PS: I am a 2022 graduate.

So I'm a trainee rn and have been thinking of making a switch (later, not immediately). I'm really drawn to the prospects remote jobs offer. But there's gotta be some fine print. I mean it can't be the exactly the rosy picture techbros paint all the time. So I want to know the stuff nobody really talks about in detail. Like how are you taxed : are there bands, etc. How is the work life balance like? Does working remotely full-time with people from all around the world feel the same as working in a multicultural office? Is it sustainable over a long period of time? All of your opinions are appreciated :)

Hello folks, So I got an offer from a US based product company for remote role for Product designer. This company just raised a seed funding. They don’t have any office in India but their tech team and some of the people from leadership team (CxOs) are from India. I’m confused whether to go with this offer or not. Reason: 1. Their interview process was too good to be true, it was very quick, no assignments given, they just saw the portfolio, ask some process related questions and then they agreed to give offer. 2. It’s a pure remote company with no plans to build office in India in coming future. 3. They have very small team, I’ll be working as 2nd designer only. 4. As per the current job market, I’m afraid about their future. YOE : 3yrs Hike that I’m getting is 50% Help a fellow UX designer decide whether to go with this or not.

In short, I visited the US in 2018 for a exposure trip sponsored by the government as part of a startup competition I won with my team. Consequently, I now hold a valid B1/B2 visa until 2028. At times, I wonder how I could leverage this visa for my benefit. Currently, I have no engagements in the US but can visit friends there if I land there. I have a remote job with flexible hours, although I'm not sure if my company allows working from different time zones. However, I believe I could manage that somehow. Do you think it makes sense to go and stay there for some time to explore? I feel this could be beneficial in the long term. On the flip side, it's worth noting that this isn't necessary and may not be a wise financial choice. What do you guys think? What are your thoughts?
