I got a verbal offer from my hiring manager a few days back. HR is working out the numbers now. Hoping for L62 since the interviews went really well.

Is it possible for me to negotiate a permanent WFH?

I currently live in a different state and I might have to relocate to Bangalore if I accept the offer. Bangalore's traffic and HCOL are what really puts me off.

    Why don't you try PayPal Chennai if you need WFH?

  • You will have an option to choose between 50% or less WFH vs more than 50% WFH. The 50% or less WFH has always been there, is default, and doesn't need any approvals. More than 50% option was introduced post-covid. I believe one can even switch between the 2 options (not too frequently though) after the required approvals.
    But as others have pointed out, you will have to factor in your team's collaboration style while making the decision. I have seen engineering teams that are perfectly fine with 100% WFH, teams that easily accomodate 100% WFH, and teams that need you to come physically few days per week unless you have a non-trivial reason to opt 100% WFH.
    Discuss with your HM. I think you should be fine and should be able to go for 100% WFH. Just ensure you make a good case for your choice.
