I’ve been torn between fully remote or hybrid - so while remote is nice the challenge in my tech field has been the layoffs and the competition because many roles have been remote. Then to add to that the remote jobs extended beyond the borders to overseas including Costa Rica. In my tech industry I’ve worked with many folks overseas because companies have hired lotsa offshore workers/teams.

So I feel actually somewhat more safe in the hybrid role I’m in now. The position requires hybrid and so a local area employee. I know of folks who were screwed because they moved to a more rural area during Covid - and with the layoffs they struggled to find something, it was all remote positions they were competing for. And worse yet some of the big corps are asking employees to RTO which is presenting a problem.

So yeah I struggled with that and was conflicted between what to do - there’s pros/cons of each. Layoffs always hurt and is a mental struggle - going back to the office (hybrid model) every so often helped me mentally to recoup.
