All big fours are doing away with full remote right? How do you think that affect 1) recruiting new talent 2) existing talent who are nowhere near an office and cannot go in?

Yep, there’s a push to go back into the office but people will probs leave if they tried to make it more than 3 days in the office. Big 4 employers really don’t have the leverage nowadays to make demands.

There are a lot of layoffs now in other industries so it will be more difficult for ppl to leave. I think a day or two in the office is reasonable and very much needed for more junior team members

I haven’t heard that PwC is doing away with remote. We have several people mapped to my office who live on the other side of the state.

Same here, I think it’s mostly team specific. Even the partners/leaders of my group have moved out of the city in which we are mapped work-wise

Short term, probably yes a bit to both. Medium/Long term, no (as long as they stay in line with general industry expectations).

Our office hired some people from other states to work on specific clients and they are not being asked to move. The people that were hired to work in our office but have been living with their parents outside of a commutable distance will likely need to move at some point or get approval to stay fully remote. Our firm does offer fully remote as an option but, while not explicitly stated, it will likely have an impact on career progression and ratings.

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?
