Any agencies planning on making some permanent remote work policy changes? Or starting a hybrid schedule? My agency is planning on going back to 100% in office and I’m not thrilled.

WFH this past year has been the most productive year I’ve had in my career. The day I get the email forcing me to waste time and money commuting to from the office more than 2/3 days a week is the day I start interviewing elsewhere.

Same! Also I am AMAZING at presenting on Zoom, terrible at presenting in person. My career is in the best place it’s ever been thanks to remote work.

The last 12 months have been nothing short of life changing for me. I’ve moved into the burbs after many, many years of city dwelling.
I hadn’t realized the concessions I had made in my life and with my health for the sake of being at the center of it all. Don’t get me wrong I love those cities, but my mental and physical health is exponentially better these days.
I have the privilege of working for a top agency, but I admit, if I’m forced to decide between a big-name shop or staying where I am living and potentially working for a smaller (or even regional place) that allows me to stay put, I’m going to opt for the latter.

My company stated 75% of us will be hybrid moving forward. The other 25% will be mostly in office but with more flexibility (the 25% are the people who are mostly going into the office now)

Location: NYC

WFH until 2022 with going into the office entirely optional. Based on some recent articles, looks like we’ll be hybrid but dependent on roles.

Interview tomorrow for a tax associate opening at RSM. Been working in a mid-size city (different firm) that is about 70 minutes from this new home office in a larger metro. How flexible is WFH or dual model going forward post Covid? Am interested in this position and going to tax, but not be able to relocate for family reasons. Don’t want to drive 700 miles per week M-F. What will dual model be like going forward? 1-2 times week, 4-5 month? Seems like tax was more flexible than audit pre-Covid

I used to care about and chase the opportunity to produce cool/fun/funny work. But, as of the last couple years..it’s just more about stability, keeping working relationships happy, building finances, i.e. it’s just a job. Not about pushing for the most fun creative ideas—I still do that—I just don’t care enough to fight as much if they don’t get it. Definitely still feel genuinely defeated when truly awesome concepts get glossed over by a client who has no clue what they want.
