The cities' respective recoveries show that the finance firms made the right call.

Having everyone lock themselves inside and exclusively interact via video chat is not a good thing, IMO.
Sounds like a Black Mirror episode.
NYC finance workers didn't have the backbone to resist RTO like SF tech workers did.
That's the beauty of working in tech. There's a lot of companies to move over to. Finance is a lot more restricted.
Personally, I prefer to live in smaller cities, but I lived in a huge metropolitan area for decades. I just grew tired of it. In that regard, remote work for me is a blessing.
