Startups are going to either need to start paying a lot more or giving more serious equity stakes if they want to hire anyone who isn't straight out of college or already wealthy.
Imagine a three day work week. Or part time work, letting you also maintain your FANGA job.
Cool. Now start offering more part time roles.
I’m currently in a weird position. My job pays for a full time salary but with less than part time work.
I’m not sure if I should pick up another full time job with full time work or a part time job with part time work.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
90% I predict. There is little to no advantage of having an in-office work force for tech startups unless physical presence is necessary for the job. Managers can crow all they want about wanting to see asses in chairs but the data does not support it.
Myself and many people I know can't stand permanent WFH and specifically seek jobs with offices.
How would you feel if the office was just cheap fluorescent lighting lit cubicles in some shitty part of town? Maybe a cat poster for some motivation.

- Live and move anywhere. - Set your own hours. - Four day work weeks. - Part time roles. - Work for both FANGMA and a startup [1] - Sabbaticals. [1] (Startup could be flexible so there's no overlap in meetings/oncall. Also makes it super easy to switch jobs while still getting paid from one of the two roles.)
Be interesting to know for the "remotes" how remote is remote. Some are localish remotes, some are world wide remotes, and some somewhere in-between. One of the problems seems to be ( and I'm sure some start up will try to solve this) is employing people worldwide has a lot of legal issues with regards to local employment laws and payment issues.
Are there any startups attempting to sort out the tax situation when working from different places. It would involve a lot of figuring out with governments but as things stand I think being a digital nomad is going to be done semi illegally. I would definitely sign up and pay my fair share to the correct jurisdiction.

Those aren't the only levers. Imagine a three day work week. Or part time work, letting you also maintain your FANGA job.

i.e. those in leanFIRE, baristaFIRE, or coastFIRE positions.
