[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you ok with the travel? I agree that sounds awful.

Anyway, I would not wait until the offer to tell them you won't relocate - among other things, you risk burning your friend. Either tell them no, or tell them you're interested but relocation is a barrier. [/quote]

They might concede to your wishes.

However, you need to be sure that nobody will resent you if you get a special deal.

My Fortune 500 company requires 3 days a week in office now unless you were remotely hired.  This is detrimental to the lives and expenses of those who have to comply.  I get less sleep now and am exposed to dangerous traffic congestion and eat more poorly and have gained back 10 lbs since RTO was enforced.

The minions have noticed that many of the newest and flashiest execs keep getting hired for full remote work and live in resort type places.  At a minimum, it's bad for morale.  It also raises productivity questions, even though we are fairly functional at remote work.  The phrase that keeps getting used is "Rules for thee, but not for me".  The head of HR is the most resented because the CEO thinks HR is great while officially measured employee satisfaction is nosediving.

So...just a cautionary tale if your job might involve work policies, team-building, etc.  Will all your direct reports be in a meeting room together while you are just a talking head on a screen?  Are you good at building virtual relationships?[/quote]
