WFH is killing Silicon Valley?

Work From Home, Forever



Everyone sat down abruptly at home, put on their sweatpants (or maybe not even ), and began to work hard, work, work ... but this is inaccurate:





FAANG rushing back - here , and can not understand - what to do with all this.



The developers are dumping from the Valley to cheaper and better places, with a cut in base salary, but leaving their sweet RSUs .



So is this the end ?!



... or just the beginning?

  • The coronavirus will pass, but the sweatpants will remain. Well, home office to them in addition. FAANG will save on cooks and yoga classes, and employees will have more time to watch cats on the Internet (and to nag their startups, if they are lucky).
  • Those who bought investment property next to the offices of large companies in the Valley will cry bitterly into their pillow.
  • Uncle Vasya from Ivanovo will now compete for the same IT vacancies as Mr. Ranganathan from San Francisco. It is not yet clear who will get the position, but I put on ours!
