After working from home for the last 9 months, I do not want to ever go back into the office. I'd like to stay permanently remote. Advice for bringing this topic up with my manager? Or should I hold off on asking until we actually need to return (probably not until May or June at this rate). I feel like I am just as productive wfh and would like the ability to move away from my current city.

I work in industry now. Senior accountant.

I'm in industry too, feel the same way, and doing it now. Do it now and ask. You'll either get approval to do it or you won't,and if you don't, you'll know where you stand and can decide from there if you want to find a new remote job (and you can take your time finding one).

As for advice, it's going to depend on your company and manager and how they feel about permanent remote. It probably won't depend all that much on you.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
