But now, $100,000 salary only goes so far — and its worth varies from city to city. Across major U.S. cities, $100,000 can be worth as much as $86,444 and as little as $35,791, a recent SmartAsset study finds. The study compares the value of $100,000 across 76 major U.S. cities, accounting for cities' income taxes and cost of living. Cities in the South, from Tennessee to Texas, dominated the top 10 cities where $100,000 goes the furthest. In SF, a $100,000 salary is worth only $36,445; in the Big Apple, it's worth just $35,791.

London CNN —Remote work risks wiping $800 billion from the value of office buildings in major cities worldwide by 2030 as the post-pandemic trend pushes up office vacancy rates and drives down rents, according to a new report. “Urban real estate in superstar cities around the world faces substantial challenges. In a more severe scenario, the value of office space could fall by as much as 42%, the consultancy said. Waning demand for office space has driven down landlords’ asking rents, with US cities suffering the sharpest falls, McKinsey found. In a moderate scenario, demand for office space could be 13% lower by the end of the decade than it was in 2019.

These big chains and others have closed stores in major US cities recently, raising alarm about the future of retail in some of the country’s most prominent downtowns and business districts. How policymakers remake their downtowns — with retail as a crucial attraction — will be crucial to cities’ fiscal health and regional economies. People who are being employed in those stores are losing their jobs” because of crime, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, said in February. San Francisco lost around 6% of its retail establishments from 2019 to 2021, according to the think tank’s research. For example, chain-store closures in New York City have correlated to the products most frequently bought online.

"I have worked with more than 50 VCs and nobody comes close to what it is like to work with Mark Suster," said a founder backed by Suster. "Mark and the Upfront Summit helped put LA tech and investing on the map," said Jeffrey Katzenberg, the cofounder of DreamWorks and WndrCo. Several years ago, a founder whose startup Suster invested in was in a conference room rehearsing their presentation for the Upfront Summit. If you're going to put him on your board, you're letting the fox guard the henhouse. "If you're going to put him on your board, you're letting the fox guard the henhouse."
Walmart announced Tuesday that next week it will close four poor-performing stores out of the eight it operates in Chicago. Now, it's closing four Chicago stores. Walmart said its remaining four Chicago stores “continue to face the same business difficulties,” but it believes closing these four will give the others the best chance of staying open. There were fears that Walmart and other businesses would leave Chicago, but Walmart pledged to stay and invest in the city. Some retailers have also cited higher levels of theft and other crime in their city stores.
In many ways, it's easier to become a brain surgeon than a Goldman partner (doctors, please spare me your hate mail). Unlike other esteemed white-collar groups — the partners at law firm Cravath, Swaine & Moore, for example — turnover is somewhat common within the Goldman partnership. Insider's Carter Johnson and Dakin Campbell took a look at how many partners have left the bank since CEO David Solomon took over in 2018. In many ways, it's demonstrative of the allies the bank has across the Street. Former Goldman partners can be like missionaries for the bank, spreading the good word to anyone who will listen (and paying their fees).
The Big Tech layoffs have sweetened the talent pool for climate startups and venture-capital firms. Climate startups now have a growing talent pool to choose from, and hiring is picking up, according to recruiters, venture capitalists, and workers who already made the jump from Big Tech to climate tech. "Over the last year, people were already leaving mainstream tech to come into the climate space," Veery Maxwell, a partner at Galvanize Climate Solutions, a global investment firm focused on climate tech, told Insider. Cianfarini told Insider his salary is $185,000 a year plus a $40,000 stock option grant that vests over four years. This trend makes climate tech an attractive option, she said.

True remote jobs are hard to find. FlexJobs found that about 95% of remote jobs have geographic requirements, whether it's a specific region, country, state or city. Some U.S. cities offer more remote jobs that pay $100,000 or higher than others, according to new research from Ladders. Ladders identified the top 10 cities with the highest number of listings for remote jobs that pay at least $100,000 posted on their site between August and October 2022. Coastal cities like San Francisco and New York are leading the charge in offering high paying remote jobs, Ladders CEO David Fisch points out, with other large cities like Washington D.C. and Chicago close behind.
Some Salesforce employees are being told to return to the office, according to company insiders. The order conflicts with CEO Benioff's prior comments that office mandates "don't work." A Salesforce spokesperson says that its workforce is hybrid, meaning people both use the office and work from home. At Salesforce's World Tour event in June, he stated that "office mandates are never going to work." Do you work at Salesforce or have insight to share?
The fintech startup follows companies like Oracle in hiring outside of traditional tech hubs. Instead of limiting its hiring pool to San Francisco, the startup can now tap into qualified candidates anywhere, it said. In a note to employees, Brex CEO Pedro Franceschi said the current economic environment contributed to the decision to lay off workers. Tech workers traditionally concentrated in certain hubs, but research showed remote work helped expand tech talent into many other cities. But besides the cost cutting benefits other companies experience, hiring outside of tech hubs lets go of some traditional talent restraints, Brex said.
Other than a few people on "critical" projects, employees have been told to go home. Elon Musk is closing Twitter's offices and ensuring that employees do not return for now, except for the few working directly on projects deemed "Elon critical."

"Badge access," which allows Twitter workers to enter offices with their company ID, was also being suspended without a date given for when the access would be back. Some workers are being allowed to stay however, one of the people said, those who "are working on his projects," referring to Musk.

His team, led by Alex Spiro, and remaining Twitter senior execs spent the weekend crafting plans, per The Post. Musk's team also assigned some of Twitter's engineers projects to work on over the weekend. Insider reported that there was a sense among workers that some of their recent tasks were a test by Musk's team to see who works hard.

Amid rising mortgage costs, the number of homebuyers backing out of contracts increased to record-setting levels in the last three months — especially in cities that were real estate hotspots through 2021, new data finds. The cancellation rate is even higher in some cities, with 20% of buyers backing out of purchase agreements in 10 of the 50 most populous metro areas in the country. In Jacksonville, median home prices have increased from around $200,000 to over $300,000 in the last three years alone, per Redfin data. It's also possible that some buyers are backing out of deals because they're waiting to see if home prices fall, the study suggests. Meanwhile, large coastal hubs like San Francisco and New York had some the lowest cancellation rates, below 10%.

"The Nimbus contract is for workloads running on our commercial platform by Israeli government ministries," Fox-Martin said at the meeting on Tuesday. Some employees who attended Tuesday's meeting said the assurances from Google executives about Project Nimbus contradict what the company has said elsewhere. They pointed to earlier statements that a Google spokesperson made to WIRED acknowledging the contract will provide Israel's military access to Google technology.
