Are companies going to start offering WFH again if the oil crisis hits the US as badly as it’s hitting some other countries? (i.e. Australia)

I feel like this could be the worst one though if it’s prolonged

There are still some remote jobs. However, I doubt the oil crisis will have any impact. Companies just went through RTO madness. They won’t be so quick to reverse it now.

I doubt it but maybe if you already have a hybrid policy it will be relaxed a bit

you do realize that a lot of companies still offer remote work. keep looking around if you want one.

What would you class as ‘a lot’? There really aren’t many out there now

It's funny, I was talking to a relative who remembered the gas crisis after the 1973 war in the Mideast. People waited on lines, and you could only go on certain days. If we get to that point there's no telling what could happen. Companies might go back to the remote work scenario.

How far away do you think we are from that scenario happening again?

If only we had invested in public transit systems and walkable communities

The European model is vastly superior in that department

Im a third year and my current firm isn't bad and I'm pretty comfortable here. Im satisfied most of the time. There is one firm I've been keeping my eyes on because of its similarities to where I currently am (nice people, similar hours, culture).

Considering switching careers:

I got hired straight out from college 5 years ago from a small CPA firm and have worked in Tax ever since. Lately, I feel like this is not what I'm actually into. What else I can do with my Accounting degree?

My passion is Real Estate and Interior Design, love Managerial Accounting, I can sit for hours analyzing data, I also have a degree in Supply Chain Management.

My passion cannot feed my family but I've been burned out so much after years in Tax. 😞

Hi all,

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!
