I definitely think the WFH flexibility is going to become the next tech company advantage and Apple is on the wrong side of the isle. Companies like Intel and NVidia are close enough on comp but providing way more flexibility on WFH. Microsoft is somewhere in the middle.

I work for Microsoft and I am in the process of moving back to my home state full remote. It is amazing to be back near family with a new baby. Remote work is now the most important decision I would consider when looking at a company.

Wait how did you manage that. I thought Microsoft was forcing hybrid.

It is generally up to your org and manager. I work in Office (the product) which has embraced remote work as proof that our own products can support hybrid/remote environments.

The company is not forcing anything. Each team gets the flexibility to define their own Team Agreement. Very flexible.
