- Companies that temporarily allow work outside US Thinking about taking advantage of remote work opportunity to travel to a few countries. Please share companies that allow temporary remote work from out-of-US. Spotify says that you can work from anywhere, even out of country, so I guess that's one. Not sure about other full-time remote companies

But position and responsibility sounds a lot like Staff at companies like Twitter, Square, LinkedIn Stripe: Offer for L3(Sr Swe). Total comes out to $440k/year.

- WFH going forward for engineers I have been at Adobe Utah for a few years ... I know they are ok with engineers working from home here and there; however, lately a lot of companies are going full remote like Twitter or hybrid remote forever like Mircrosoft. I’m curious if anyone has heard what Adobe’s plans are going forward post
- Microsoft, your crap research will set the future of work back years ICYMI, Microsoft recently published a study in Nature claiming to show that "firm-wide remote work caused the collaboration network of workers to become more static and siloed, with fewer bridges between disparate parts."

- Permanent WFH is the future? Twitter did it. COVID shows it works very well. No need to pay those comical salaries for 'talent' in Silicon Valley that can be easily obtained for 1/2 price in other areas. I'm hoping Amazon is the next company that allows permanent work from home and we continue to see this trend continue. Office

- How are the on-site interview rounds conducted post COVID? Before COVID, the on-site round consisted of 3-5 rounds in the company premises with a short break for lunch/coffee/snacks in between.
