Are you me? I&#x27;m in the exact same boat. It&#x27;s not even just SF or NY - companies in Reston, VA or Tyson&#x27;s Corner won&#x27;t even consider even a partially remote schedule.<p>I&#x27;ve gone so far as to offer to commute from central MD to northern VA a couple times a week - no dice. Gotta be onsite every day in their open-office floor plan where 90% of the workday is spent with noise-canceling headphones on and almost all communication is through Slack.<p>It&#x27;s maddening how the pendulum keeps swinging away from remote work in this area.
