Maybe if they offered remote work.
Seriously, I would love to work for the MBTA in any capacity. But my desire to never work in an office again overrides that feeling threefold.
I am a senior level IT professional, I'd jump at the opportunity if it ever came available.

Even if it resulted in a HUGE pay cut? I interviewed for a senior admin role there last year, and after the recruiter insisted they were paying slightly above market rates, the top of the salary range was 40,000 dollars less than I was already making.

I have a personal policy of only accepting jobs where I know the pay band up front. Whenever recruiters beat around the bush or try to get me on a call before disclosing it I ghost them. I'd immediately nope out of an interview process if the pay deviated even a little under what they were initially proposing.

He told me that he didn't have the exact range, but that he had placed 2 people already who were already working at similar titled positions. I figured it was worth the swing with that assurance, and in the end I got burned by it.

State/local governments seem to be requiring at least 2 or 3 days a week in the office. But it's understandable - they want to set an example, especially when assessed values for office buildings are dropping and the cities realizes far more property tax revenue from commercial and industrial buildings than residential.
That said I feel like with all the layoffs and crap recently for white collar workers, people's ability to demand remote working options is gradually receding.

Agree, I think employers and employees will gradually end up with a compromise of 2-3 days in the office a week. Already seeing it happen in many tech companies and startups.

It's also an easy way to get people to leave without actually firing them. Not everyone's going to uproot their lives and go back to where their job is.
