[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of school is it, and does it have recirpocal agreements with other universities?

what if in 8 years your kid wants something else?  Any hints or leanings you can see now (that of course might change?). [/quote]

OP here - the new job(s) I am looking at are at large universities (think Yale/Stanford/UCs) that are full time remote.  They have tuition reimbursement programs with accredited colleges up to a certain portion per year.  Some of the schools cover up to $30,000 per year for tuition. Then we could use 529s to cover the rest of the cost per year. [/quote]

Most universities are going back to RTO or hybrid.

My spouse works at a similar top university and they went from remote in Covid to 3/2 to 4/1 (mostly RTO) because people were coasting while WFH (spouse was in meeting showing the data).  Just because they say it’s remote doesn’t mean it will stay that way.

Also to be honest if you are at a top university and making a lot ($200k and above) you really should be in a minimum 2 or 3 days a week at least during the academic year or
Your program year (if you do summer programs).

Everyone I know says in office at university is better for most students.  I say this as someone who knows people who work at Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, John Hopkins, and equivalent.  I also know people who work(end) at UNC, Madison, etc.  you’re expected to do more at the former schools.  A friend who works at Madison works from home 4 days, picks her kid up from school and basically sounds like it’s pretty good job!

Many public universities are keeping WFH as a way to save money and retain people, so if you have been somewhere a long time and your spouse makes that much money I would stay where you are unless you are fine with RTO/ working long hours.

My spouse gets the benefit too but look at the fine print, some you have to be there 5 years others start on day 1.  Also, you don’t know where you’ll be in 8 years.

I don’t think it hurts to apply,  but be aware that you’ll probably have to go into the office !
