    Drive home? Tech job?

    Most people who work for tech will never drive to or from work in their life. (I legit wish I had the opportunity where it made sense vs sitting in an hour of traffic)

      Funny because all the people I know who work in tech have to go to the office a couple of times a week 🤷

        Yeah but even pre pandemic most the tech jobs were in cities where car was not the preferable commute option.

        I can get into work in 45 minutes by train. If I drive in it’ll take me an hour and 20 or so during rush hour.
