Would you take a pay-cut to stay WFH permanently?

It seems like WFH has had different reactions from different people - many hate it, some such as myself love it.


Would you be willing to take a pay-cut for the option of WFH permanently? I'd happily take a 10% pay-cut. The money saved from not having to live as close to the office, and time saved from not having to commute is worth it to me.


I don't really mind being on-call 24/7, it isn't so different from being in the office - except I don't have to sit in the office waiting 5 hours for comments to flip.

 

so the first WFH contracts went out with a pay cut (mostly explained through lack of commute and a higher quality of life - yeah, right) and some colleagues apparently took them. they just signed and accepted the fact they won't go back to the office and were happy about it. they were mostly BO or compliance teams though.
Not sure how client facing staff will deal with this or how often they'll go in. TBD on the HR end.
