Comparing two equal offers - do the Cali style in office perks (slides, food, sleep pods etc) affect your decision?
what about other non-monetary perks?
Would in office perks sway your onboarding decision?

If I can’t do it from home, I am all the way out.
I’ve been WFH for 12 years but sometimes the gourmet meals and sleep pods look intriguing
Sleep pod? Sorry, that would ouch me even farther away. But then, to each his or her own.
Definitely WFH is a million$ perk and incomparable with whatsoever!
WFH with the WR!
Haha +1 for multitasking
I will choose remote over in office food perks
Sales people or anyone that’s a typical 9-5 the office shouldn’t use the sleeping pod

I do a lot of retention and feature add-on type sales. I find myself with an hour or so between meetings quite a bit
With my experience working at those places and everyone I know who does, say it’s for engineers who work overnight or working alongside overseas so super early mornings or late nights.
If you want to nap or relax, much better to do it from safety of your own home

It’s an office not a playground. Hard to take a company seriously if they have a slide.
Also sleep pods tell me they expect people to work insane hours. I could be wrong here, but all are more gimic than glam.

I have a bed, food, and a slide at home.
Best answer so far; adult slide added to Amazon cart
No, it's my kids playset. I'm an adult, I don't need a fucking slide.
In office perks means I'd have to go into the office. Not interested.
Idk if an office would, but certainly things like a company car, expenses, insurance, etc. should absolutely be considered.
The free food at the office is not a bad deal, that could be a lot of money saved for sure.

Insurance options are a must - HSA eligibility is a huge factor for tax purposes
HSA is huge. Goes in tax free gets spent tax free.
Sigh, our mgmt polled the gen population for Roth interests and didn’t get enough votes to offer it as an option
I’m stuck with only traditional and HSA via payroll deduction

Stinky but better than nothing.
Wfh is what matters the most to me
I’ve been wfh for 12 years, seems like I’ve been taking it for granted
Imagine the money you’d save with free food
One of my close friends gets free soup and oatmeal daily - unexpected surprise perk after hire
Ah, broth & gruel. Just like in the 19th century workhouses. 😉
Free soup and oatmeal? I think we’ve heard this story before.
Exactly the image I had. 😂
Just a reminder to all that perks don’t equate to good working conditions
I hear this. It’s easy to feel drawn towards some sparkly office things. But WFH tops any perks that you get at the office. As I get a little older it rings even more true.
Especially if you don’t maintain a separate WFH space. I just couch and table surfed for the first few years and I was miserable
Ya that’s rough. You have a setup now though?
Tried a basement office first, hated it, no windows
Finally converted a bedroom - love the view - hate the noise
Might just have multiple desks and float between them

The amount of $ alone it would cost me to go into an office in the city would not be remotely offset by any perks. That’s not including the 3 hours in the car or on transit. And I don’t even live in the hinterlands.
No, I do not care if there is ping pong, slides, sleep pods or dog friendly, If I have to go into an office pay me more. that simple
Having to go in office at all would definitely sway my decision lol
It would take a lot for me to go into an office daily. Those types of perks would not sway me however.
WFH is the way to go. Nut all else equal of course it could help. However, it's never the case that allt hings are equal
Give me WFH stipends, office equipment, fitness gear, phone coverage etc.
