Good. There needs to be more of this. Forced commute is a horrendous work-lifestyle to maintain.

#42I told Apple I wasn’t interested in interviewing for a non-remote role based on their NYC office.
I’m not an engineer who can work anywhere I want. And I’m confident that working at Apple would have an incredible positive effect on my career.
Still not worth it. I’d rather find a local job outside of tech than get back on the office space hamster wheel.

#44Earlier quoted context omitted.
I can tell you from direct experience that he is no big loss for Apple. And he wasn't "Apple's Director of ML" as in the headline makes it sound like the top company lead for this topic. He was a director, among many. A reasonably sized group leader, not say, a JG.
Can you elaborate on this.
"Director of Machine Learning" is different than "A director of a machine learning project." "Director of Machine Learning" kind of implies that he oversaw a lot of machine learning projects across the company. Being "a director of a machine learning project" means you run a team. Big difference.

#45>a little over four years Full vest. Time to go. I've had WFH people around for more than 20 years at all the places I worked over that time. Mostly they were doing their job, yet there were always limits felt to what they can do and how much they can do.
Pretty much everyone who has them is at least considering--even relatively modest--vesting schedules when they make moves.

#46Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the on…

#47Is there anything HNers feel more passionately about than remote work?

#49I recently left Amazon for a fully remote position and that was my sole decision making factor.
I am working for Amazon, fully from home. Zero expectation to ever step into the office. Each organization within Amazon is taking a different approach, leading to a lot of variability. Throwing this information out there in case anyone is put off by assuming that Amazon is demanding a return to office.

Is that why apple store employees are called "geniuses" ?
