I've been slacking on studying for these certs but guess I have to get serious again.
The market is too hot right now for you to not take advantage of permanent wfh, I’m in talent acquisition so you can trust my words on this breh, I have inside insight.
There are companies (like the one I'm at now) who have no plans to ever be back in person again. They are killing offices as soon as lease renewals come due. Employees based out of each of those offices are then officially designated remote.
There are benefits to companies going 100% remote. That lease money is going to go towards 'Work from Home' equipment reimbursements, home gas and heating bills, internet and phone (all tax write offs of course), shared workspaces, and to travel so teams can organize quarterly in different states at shared office spaces. They are going to save a lot of money not having to provide California specific HMO too. As they are probably going to keep only a Midwest office open and bounce from CA.
There are drawbacks too (just look at nikkas in this thread lol). I know for sure that Google, Apple and other companies putting the pressure on definitely have the internal numbers to back their intentions to move back in office. But other companies like mine and Facebook don't think the small loss of productivity and collaboration is worth the headaches of forcing people back.
Employees should have a pretty good idea of where their company stands by now. Whenever I read the "I bought a house in the South but my company is making me move back to NY" stories I just shake my head in disbelief. My mortgage comapny made me provide a letter saying I never had to go back.
The big dogs will find a way to reel their people back one way or another. Apple spent $5 billion on a custom campus that no one will want or be able to afford to take off their hands and the shyt is just too damn valuable.
Their employees know this and tried (months agoG to cut them off with that RTO shyt and sent them that letter stating their grievances. Now, a heavy hitter like apple can easily tell them to fukk off and replace part of their workforce. The people who make shyt happen at Apple are already there in person. You aren’t designing the next gen of silicon in your living room and Apple ain’t letting you leave the campus with their shyt.
For other companies, yeah, they will let the leases expire. My company is a very well known company and it owns its own skyscraper so they were trying to push the vaxx mandate and talk about how “great” things will be in the office. But the pushback has been big and the only ones who are thirst to come back are bored CACs whose life revolve around work. These people don’t wanna be with their families 24/7

You a recruiter, breh? You work in tech? I might pm you.
I didn't b/c it wasn't released yet at the time + I'm semi-trying to keep my anonymity on here. It's out now, though.
I worked on a Batman book.

my job actually is having a MASSIVE staffing shortage. I've been reaching out to plenty of people I know personally to apply and hopefully get hired.
then we got an email a couple weeks detailing the states people can permanently move to if they want to relocate. in a nutshell, we can live in any state other than NY/NJ/CA/HA I believe. other than that, ur good to relocate. so if people were to move to TX/TN/FL, they would get the added benefit of no state taxes to pay.
switched internally at my job and had to go to orientation for 5 days.

Yeah, I'm definitely thankful for my current job. Knowing that if I get this shyt it most likely won't be for a dumb reason like simply going to work.
Are you guys struggling with getting people to come in for the interview? My lady works in HR in a different situation (WFH isn't an option at all for just about anybody there), and the problem isn't getting applicants, it's been getting them to actually show up for interviews/orientation.
