WFH

Imagine how many WFH software engineer redditors made 100K dollars a year with that budget

India is only remote relative to the US. They're in an office and they aren't WFH in India. Also, they are excellent at the price you can get them for relative to the US marketplace. There used to be a serious quality issue with India but they've improved immensely in the past decade. It's even better if you hire them as full time staff and give them benefits. A fraction of the cost of US staff, but even more motivated and committed if they are hired as full time staff.

> because we know with certainty that people who WFH are less productive lol, LMAO even. Found the guy who is mad they cannot overcharge people for downtown commercial leases anymore.

Couple of factors. It hasn't been that long since the initial investments in AI and the CEOs are being a bit disengenuous with their replies. I consult for fortune 500 companies and I've seen where much of the AI spend is going and the CEOs are not going to admit that they've cut back on staff or how effective AI is at showing which employees are actually productive. Last year there were about 150,000 developers laid-off from the tech field that were earning an average of $200k. That's $30 billion in salary and more if benefits are factored in. AI is also useful is measuring productivity and we're now aware of which employees produce, especially those that WFH. Companies will accelerate the push to return to office because we know with certainty that people who WFH are less productive. For now, it guides decisions for who to lay off and when. CEOs are not going to publicly admit these immediate results, even in a PWC survey and PWC is certainly aware of these results from AI investment themselves.

Hi all, Looking to get into Options as a second source of income. Im WFH so have free time to scan charts and such in the mornings/throughout the day. Im 27 and not looking for a get rich quick but a consistant and reliable stategy that I can learn. I have something that I like but havent really seen any significant gains from it so far. Will post the details below. Screener This scanner includes price > $3, change > .01%, market cap 300M USD, EMA(50) < price, EMA(21) < price, avg volume 10D > 500k, ADR > 2%. I look for a tight bases on the daily timeframe and a breakout on the 5 min with a bullish conformation candle. I look for calls atleast 1/2 OTM, with high volume atleast 100 and OI of atleast 1000, the Delta should be higher than .25. I will hold the contract to 50%-100% not to get greedy and have a SL of the low of the day (stock price) I bought the contact. I will close the contract if it hasnt played out by halfway to the exp. If anyone has any advice or tweaks to this or a totally different statagy that you think would work better please get in touch.

When can I start WFH from Greenland?

Q for you then with your experience. Ive been trading and investing for 15ish years. In my experience sometimes the easiest most obvious big trend, trades really do work quite well. For example, you could buy AAPL in '15 on a couple qs of slowing iPhone sales AFTER buffet bought it and showed up on the 13s. You could buy MRNA and BioNTech AFTER we knew the vax was gonna work and still make a huge return. Same for WFH stocks like zoom after it was clear WFH was gonna be a thing The travel names when it was already apparent people were booking trips again NVDA , AFTER chatGPT came out and AI was the hot thing. LLY well after hundreds of articles and everyone plus their sister on GLP1 Euro weapons companies well into Ukraine war and re-arming under way. So this trade is a simple one, yes, but does HAL and VLO make sense even if it's kinda obvious and consensus?

Evol_Etah

Nah, I'm under 30. But I grew up super super poor. Now I'm making bank. But I had to give-up so much of my childhood, cause I could never afford stuff. So basically, it's like a guy earning 1 million usd, but living in a shitty apartment basement eating ramen and having a broken laptop WFH. (Good company, good benefits) Purely cause idk how to do with this money, and I don't wanna make stupid decisions. But I also need to make A decision eventually. I'm just scared of losing everything I have.

Data centers replace all the offices for companies who refused to allow WFH because Gen Z is the captain now. The walls are filled with liquid cooled tubing like arteries. You can hear the pumping, like a heartbeat, at 1AM in NYC. All cars are silent now. In the summer, Peter Thiel finds evidence of the antichrist. Turns out he lives in a cave of ice on mars. Joint venture between Elon Musk and Thiel is announced on the public market to ignite the first thermonuclear bomb on another planet and terraform it . People ask how theyre still alive. No one knows. People say money. Some say they harvest the blood of their countless progeny, 5 of which are uncovered every year. The truth is that they died in 2042.

WFH isn’t good on my posture. Catch myself sitting like a fuckin gremlin in this chair

karock

fuel costs are involved in the delivery of most goods, so it does matter a bit more than just for personal usage, but yeah I feel kinda the same way. I WFH so I get it matters more for others but even if I did 25 miles/day more driving I'd still only be spending like $30/week on gas... so yeah 10% reduction would be like a couple hundred bucks a year difference give or take.

PaperHandsTheDip

It's closer to 300k in market gains (\~10% average since 1990). \~7% accounting for inflation (210k) - of which draw out just over half of that (110k). I accounted for those things. Basically just sell \~3.5% of your assets per annum. It's more conservative than the 4% rule. That draw rate will run you indefinitely and grow faster than inflation. You'd actually get to draw out more than 110k in year 2, more in year 3, etc. \--- Income comes in the form long term capital gains. Online calculators suggest you'd owe \~10k in tax on that - which means after tax you get \~100k of disposable income per annum. That'd grow with inflation \--- \> 30 year old couple, but we don’t live 2x better than them. Yea, we spend slightly more on housing, but part of that comes with WFH. We lease a new Honda every 3 years cause both of us cba to deal with the stress of a mechanical issue. You are living well above the average. It's a case of lifestyle creep more than anything imo. I also WFH (and know several people that do as well). They work in the living room / at an office desk, etc. You have \~1k sqr ft / person. I know families of 4 who live in \~1400 sqr ft AND have an office at home. I grew up in a \~2400 sqr ft home with a family of 6 and 3 dogs. The reality is that the average person spends less than $100 / month on entertainment & hobbies. They also live in a smaller & cheaper home. They spend less on food and also eat out less. Even in a HCOL area - it's mostly just attributed to rent. \--- For a thought experiment - if you guys only had $100k income - how would you live? Can you adjust your lifestyle down to that? The average income in america is only 67k / person. Are you willing to live cheaper (just compromise on a home). If yes - you can save more / invest more & retire earlier. \--- You have a ton of time / space left to compound your income to afford these freedoms as your assets grow

modder9

If you are still working during, sure. That income is still taxed, and every year of inflation and incidental expenses will eat away at your savings. Idk it still feels like we earn so much more than the average 30 year old couple, but we don’t live 2x better than them. Yea, we spend slightly more on housing, but part of that comes with WFH. We lease a new Honda every 3 years cause both of us cba to deal with the stress of a mechanical issue. Unfortunately, the older I get, the more I yearn for nice climates in even higher COL areas. I could move to a cultural desert like Texas, but what’s the point of saving money if you are surrounded by the most annoying uneducated fucks? Basically, everyone under 30 is fucked unless you want to live in Kansas.

There's nothing wrong with Chicago in the summer & while Chicago winter is tough, things don't really get much better until you're in Florida. Winter everywhere between the Great Lakes & the Gulf of Mexico is gloomy, grey, and cold enough to need to wear some kind of jacket outside. If it's not 75+ & sunny, it's too cold. Wearing extra layers for Chicago winter vs Nashville winter is basically trivial. "Oh no, I had to put on an extra shirt. Boo fucking hoo." And snow is a plus now that COVID WFH adoption has resulted in snow days for adults.

DirtyTacoKid

Its not about creative outputs, its about streamlining repetitive time consuming work Actually this isn't really "AI" its "Automation". They're near synonyms in 2025. The mantra right now is AI AI AI The real agenda though, is 1. Automate as much as possible 2. Outsource to low cost countries If it can't be automated, outsource it to India, Sri Lanka, who ever will do it. Wherever it can be done cheaper. If your job is WFH, it can be done in India instead.

I’m not concerned with the AI bubble. I’m concerned with the commercial real estate fallout. An 18-30 window is what Gemini is estimating. Drive around town and look at all the office spaces & whole buildings up for sale or lease. WFH/Remote changed the landscape and this is a slow & painful reaction. I’m 100% opposed to another bailout.

MontasJinx

You literally made an assumption. “You can’t blah blah blah over teams.” And I’m telling you that you can because we do. Everyday. And yeah I’ve led teams. Quite well actually. Because I was concerned about outcomes and not some marketing level BS about ‘synergy around the water cooler.’ Listen it’s obvious that this is role and task dependent but don’t make assumptions though. WFH can and does work well. It’s a blessing as far as I am concerned and anyone trying to convince me otherwise, I’ll assume they have an agenda. Good day.

MattieShoes

Timing the market *successfully* is far better than time in the market. The problem is just about nobody times the market successfully consistently. So I take it as more of a "you could be wrong," or "you could be *right* but wrong about *when*." Figure a target allocation, and that's home base. Then be willing to shift a bit from it given market conditions. How much you're willing to shift depends on risk appetite, how reasonable your takes are, etc. But it doesn't have to be huge. Like back in 2021, the fed repeatedly indicated that they were going to be raising rates *a lot*. So maybe you shift away from growth towards value, or away from companies holding massive amounts of debt towards companies on more solid financial footing. Not like liquidating your portfolio, just... moving stuff around a bit, or allocating new contributions towards value, whatever. You're just reducing risk in the short term, and if you're wrong, you're still doing fine. Then 2022 hits and growth takes a shellacking and starts to look like an opportunity, so you start shifting back towards growth. Or maybe back at the start of covid, you start looking for things that would benefit from it -- WFH, delivery services, teleconferencing, etc. Then Zoom goes up like 500% in under a year and MS starts getting around to stepping on them by shoving Teams down everyone's throat, so you get out with a tidy profit. At least that's kind of what I try to do -- beat the market by a few percent without taking any drastic actions.

There's a high chance of getting straight-up scammed. they should get part HYSA, part VTI or VT. they should get a rice and beans diet, visit r/frugal regularly. and since they are 54 and not 74, they shouldn't give up on getting a WFH job. they should continue that route, and even grind and pivot into another field. It can take years to get a small business up and running such as teaching english online, or getting the right education/certs.

I have a comfortable WFH job that is in a super safe field and a very safe job, with no one to answer too.. the problem is I been doing this since I was 18 and I can’t stand it anymore. So what motivates me is the ideal of not having to work in 15-25 years

Have a buddy at Amazon who was texting me today saying he's going to WFH tomorrow because he has to be in a tuxedo for some sort of dinner theater thing and didn't want to show up on the day when he's possibly getting laid off in a tuxedo. I told him in no uncertain terms he should absolutely show up to work in a tuxedo because 1) they probably would be afraid to lay off someone wearing a tuxedo, and 2) even if they did that would be a hilarious way to go, and he could shout on the way out about how he would be taking this up personally with Jeff when he meets up with him at the opera later

AzulMage2020

This is bad. Both my neighbors work for Amazon and are freaking out right now. One is a Snr manager and the other is a Dev Project Team Lead with each having multiple years in ther role. Each stayed strong when RTO was mandated, insisiting that they would continue to WFH with their performance goals being the criteria for evaluation. Eventually, their managers agreed and they continued to WFH. But now, with this news, they are very worried. The Snr manager who reports to the VP, who also happens to be their mother, believes they might be in trouble as the VP retires this year. The Project Team Leader , daughter of the Snr Director who leads the department is also concerned for both herself and her dad. We all live on Oahu so I figured Id invite them over for some afternoon surfing/mai tais to cheer them up.

You don't need to pay a premium to live in the city or a fancy suburb if: 1. You WFH 🏠 2. No kids → no school district worries 🎒 3. A cheaper area has no history of crime 🛡 4.

ObjectiveData9902

That's what I do but because everybody gets on the band wagon, the price just moves too damn fast. One mistake and you've set a stop loss 20% lower than you want. I love the stocks that go up 40% in 10 days and down 40% in 10 days. Much easier than day trading when you have a WFH contract and you are in and out of meetings all day.

Find a 9-5 office job with a closed office or WFH. Put your paycheck in ETFs, make a play money account, daytrade volatility when the opportunity arises, dump profits into ETFs, buy real estate, put your tenant's rent in ETFs, daytrade volatility, write an email so your boss thinks your working, go to the bank, show them your big boy account, secure low cost credits, buy more ETFs, daytrade, have fun until the market crashes, leverage yourself on the way down, go to your 9-5, buy ETFs clear out your leverage after the market rebounds, cash out money, buy more real estate.

Covid is tricky, and the strong fed response makes it even trickier. I think the covid recovery was at probably the best time in human history in terms of finance/economics to hit. Tech to support WFH, Gig economy, and a more experienced fed post-2008 in terms of how to do QE made it possible. A general healthy economy prior to covid/market also made it pretty good to buy back into too.

Owner of the previous company I worked for (a well known ecommerce clothing brand) took a 400k PPP loan, had his most profitable year ever during COVID, and got loan forgiven because he put the PPP loan in its own account and used that to pay rent and salary, instead of the funds that normally would pay for that. Gave himself more dividends out of the regular accounts and bought his third vacation home in Florida. I quit shortly after he mandated no one could WFH anymore (us in the IT department had hybrid work BEFORE COVID even started). Also, his mandate was that no one but him and his wife could WFH anymore. Lead by example apparently wasn't taught in his MBA classes.

Real estate *is* less passive, period. I know too many real estate investors and based on the stories I hear from them, not a single one is passive. Hell, they spend more time just visiting with their CPAs due to their complex taxes than I spend on my portfolio management and taxes each year. Even those with property managers still have to manage their managers. They are business owners with a real estate portfolio and either direct employees/managers on payroll or an outsourced property management company, which they have to watch like a hawk. And then there are all the wanna-be BiggerPockets landlords that bought at too high of price, thought rents could never go down, got a bad string of tenants, got a bad sequence of repairs/replacements, etc. and they are left with negative returns that they can never recover from (and hours upon hours of their lives wasted in the meantime). >What about the risk that VTSAX goes down 50% in a big crash? It will at some point. The typical bear market lasts less than three years. I keep three years of expenses in cash. What about the risk that your properties sit vacant for longer than you can stay solvent? What about the risk that you didn't know what you were doing and overpaid or picked the wrong property(ies)? What if you invest in commercial real estate and a pandemic hits and everyone switches to WFH and you lose your leases for years? What if your area becomes the next Detroit? What happens if your property management company doesn't do their due diligence on getting you quality tenants and you spend months/years (depending on the state) trying to evict someone? What if the foundation of one of your rentals starts to sink? What if you have properties in Florida and your property taxes go up 60% in five years while rents start to drop? And on and on and on. I like passive investments and there's simply too much to deal with and worry about with real estate.

Perhaps latency, and latency stability isn't a deciding factor for residential buyers, but it is most certainly a deciding factor for businesses, particularly consistency across all broadband metrics (latency, jitter, packet loss, throughput). WFH and gaming users are going to care about throughput and stability a LOT. Your mom streaming Netflix in the living room and scrolling Facebook on her phone isn't going to notice or care. I'm telling you, the reason SpaceX is going to win this is because of their ability to get payload to orbit. Remember, LEO satellites need propellant to keep them in orbit, they eventually run out and have to deorbit. Of course the higher you are the lesser this effect, however they're going to have to replace these sats eventually. That being said, you're still going to have capacity issues. Spectrum is zero sum, payload to orbit is not. That put's a hard limit on how and how fast they can grow. If you're gonna shoot the king you better not miss, and right now ASTS is armed with a slingshot and pebbles.

I'm sorry I need to WFH and I can't make going into an office work. I need to masturbate 2x or have sex... in the morning Also 1 - 2 more releases during the day. Going to an office just doesn't work for me. 🤷‍♂️

One of those days when I wish I would WFH. Tempted to drive under a semi on the way home is a tad too high after these LULU calls. Ngl.

You have the cause and effect backwards. Places ended WFH *because* it was impacting commercial real estate. Remember, if you get investment to start a business, and all the bankers/investors have a significant portion of their portfolio wrapped up in office buildings, they can very easily put conditioner statements on your funding like mandatory 50% in office time, or no more than xx% employees remote, all others on site. If you're trying to start a business you're not going to be in a great position to negotiate for different terms, despite all independent research showing hybrid work or remote work is **actually more productive** than mandatory in person, so you're going to take the terms and require employees to come in. Look at Jaime Dimon, dude had a crash out on an interview over WFH/hybrid. *Purely coincidentally*, JP Morgan is one of the largest holders of commercial real estate in the US, especially in major cities where office density is plummeting the most.

Exactly, there is no issue with CRE, especially now that most major corporations and governments have ended WFH..

they need to put their money where their mouth is, it would be hilarious if the AI turned out to make caring decisions and set long term goals over short term growth emphasis. It would probably recommend immediate WFH so all that office money could be spent at the data center.

Literally no one I know who had it had anything serious happen when they got COVID. The only serious stuff I saw was on the news. I had COVID 3 times and still was able to WFH. It was a joke for me and everyone I knew.

Like i said to the other commenter, I think people are heavily underestimating what 5-10 years can do. Businesses like Amazon added 1.4mil job in 10 years and many actively hire and fire in mass. My wife is going through this exact process right now, as the employee of a contractor under Amazon. She gets counted as one of those 1.6mil employees to-date, yet she has to reapply biannually to a new contract firm as the old one loses its contract. Quality may go down, but most of us working for major corporations are easily replaceable. And that mid-term timeframe is more than enough for businesses like Microsoft to build/rent facilities and train new staff to fill positions overseas. WFH is definitely a possibility too. My job has me seeing firsthand the speed major U.S. corporations are able to open/close locations. And many Americans in those towns are saying the same thing you are, “they’ll never leave here!” Corporations just don’t gaf and will always find a way to cut cost or increase profit. They’ll fire you or give you ultimatums to move or accept a lower position in the company. If businesses like Microsoft become a poor investments, it’ll more than likely be due to poor management or a global recession before a single country’s economy.
