As a software engineer currently job hunting (in the UK) there seems to be a big push to at least do hybrid work. 90% of the roles I see require at the very least 1 day a week in London.
I'm working in the UK and my employer which is US based has embraced the WFH culture. Although the CEO initially said they didn't understand it, they did listen to their employees and has decided to sell off their HQ in the US and give people the option to WFH or work in office.
I value this so much.
I do hope more C-Suite listen or that employees leave to reach then a lesson.
Yeah same!
Your company sounds like they did the smart thing selling HQ. It feels like a lot of places are forcing the office time because they're locked into expensive London office leases. Either that or old school management.
May I ask how it works in terms of living in the UK but working for a US company? Are there gotchas with HMRC for example?
No gotchas, they have loads of employees globally while it's a US company they are a global company.
I was hired via the UK side of things but the C-Suite bosses are American.
Basically like if you worked at mcdonalds.
So HMRC get their fee like normal :)
