I know my worth. I know they can't replace me easily and I know they know it as well. I'm perfectly happy to continue doing my job and continue giving it my all from home. If they want me back at the office, they have to pay me more. It's as simple as that. Finding a new job right now - a remote job, at that - would not be a problem right now, so if they say no, I'm perfectly willing to walk away. They let the genie out of the bottle when they sent us home in 2020 and if they think they can just push it back in, they're sorely mistaken.

Hint: put a little more time into your job search, networking, skilling up and networking than bloviating here on moving. I’ve got a 40 year career with 10 major banks.
Be flexible, be shrewd and above all, be honest, expect the same but verify. These are lessons which we all should have by our mid twenties… at latest.
Find the remote job then!
We are all replaceable.
You need to get rid of the mindset they cannot replace you. They can and will with someone in India they can pay a lot less
You are better off leaving the banking industry like I did. WFH and loving life!
