Bay area housing poll

Apr 6 18 Comments

The trend seems like we will always be remote or come to office 1-2 days per week.
For people who are looking to buy house in 2-3 years, if many companies including yours support remote.
Will you buy house in bay area?
I am thinking of buying one and wanted to know thw trend.
There are similar polls on blind asking "is bay area desirable" but homeowner population skews the polls. Homeowners seems to find perfect weather in bay area 1300sqft 1975 house and blah blah.

    I agree with the Google HR guy who said hybrid is a stepping stone to back in the office. I am skeptical that in five years we are anything other than what we were five years ago.

  • Never time the bay area housing market. I said this last year on here and got flamed. Now look, each of my houses appreciated ~500k to 1M just in a year. Buy now

    Remote is ok when everyone is remote. We just went back to the office this week.

    People who are remote when the majority of their team is RTO will have trouble with their career growth. Many decisions are made in person.

      And you made this statement "The true doers want to be left alone in their home office to get shit done"? I feel bad for your teammates.

      Correct. Because getting shit done includes giving and receiving help, which my team of (mostly senior) SWEs has been doing amazingly well over virtual means.
      We are in a deeply technical domain-specific project with clear execution goals, and in-office simply hurts focus enough to slow down making progress on hard problems. My team has at least 2 L6s, 2 L5s and 1 L7 who strongly prefer remote, 3 of those are already approved and the rest are waiting to confirm they won't miss out on any office happenings before applying.
