Hi guys! I just started with KPMG as an S1 in business tax (about 2 months ago) There seems to be more and more push into going back to the office. I have a disabled sibling and an aging mother, which is why I prefer to WFH. Is there any way to apply to be fully remote and any tips on making that ask or who to talk to? I’d really appreciate any advice!KPMG

First job out of school - how to deal with imposter syndrome?

I was recently hired and am really excited for the role and what’s to come, but I’ve been feeling very lost. Not sure what my daily workload should look like, what I should be accomplishing, and how often to reach out. Maybe WFH has something to do with this. It feels like my manager is not sure what to do with me, and this being my first role I’m not quite sure what to be doing either myself. Any tips on overcoming this?

We know that sooner or later, most of the companies will start calling employees back in office to work.

But If you were called by your employer and you convince that you can work better from home and agreed to extend or convert you to remote..!

CTS : No clarity as of now, only thing I am aware is that I’m a part of full stack community.

Toronto banks: remote or not? They sometimes post jobs where it doesn’t say it’s remote, but no branch/ location/address either.
