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)
No true anymore. Many tech jobs are returning to office, including my own. Slowly went from 1 to 2 to now 3 days a week. Sucks
Yes but most tech jobs are in cities where commuting by vehicle is not preferable. Maybe some Seattle or Bellevue offices break the norm but the majority are in NYC Manhattan or some part of San Fran or Palo Alto. Driving in those are a bit nuts.
Example I'm in NYC and even pre pandemic it was way faster for me to commute by train than car.
Funny because all the people I know who work in tech have to go to the office a couple of times a week 🤷
He's talking about public transit
Public transport exists. Even for some (lucky) USians.
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.
