+100 I'm genuinely curious why people who are seeing job postings are mentally skipping to several steps ahead.


Because applying to jobs takes effort and time, and if one can get a sense that a certain ask isn't worth it, then they won't bother wasting that effort and time.


It looks to me that you are lazy and can't solve a problem. Pre-covid, parents in the DMV did this all of the time. I am a long time federal manager and some of the things my staff can't seem to work out at home to make it to the office between 10 and 2:30 core hours is pretty ridiculous, - my kids need a hot breakfast and can't possibly ride the bus, needs to remote work twice a week for doctor's appointments when the spouse works from home full time, can't commute when their kids have a game after school. camps are expensive. I really wonder how much work people were doing pre RTO. I raised two kids and worked FT prior to covid (kids are 26 and 23), I paid for before care and I had a PT nanny after school (I paid them $30 per hour from 3:00-5:30pm), I paid thousands of dollars in summer camp and spent most of January figuring schedules. It was not that hard.


They're communicating to you that this job is not worth solving these problems. Maybe that's a misjudgment on their part, but it's not being unable to solve them.


Do most job changes come with a $50k salary bump? that's the only scenario where it works about by using PP's approach.
did they take a pay cut during Covid

This is what I am talking about.
