If you're willing to take lower pay, there are a lot of good options out there.
I took a nearly 50% cut about 5 years ago (a few months before the pandemic) to join a smaller company with a much less stressful environment and a very flexible WFH policy, and I don't regret it at all.
That's a US perspective right? I don't think that exists much in Europe?
I just got a 3 month freelance gig (Netherlands) and even that requires full time on-site for absolutely no reason other than "boss says so". There's also a housing crisis going on and they wonder why they have an open vacancy for literally 6+ months.
I guess it's better to watch it burn than to allow WFH.
