Just got a job at Deloitte M&A in Atlanta and am currently looking to buy a house. Would you advise I buy closer to Atlanta or the suburbs? I personally want to be in the suburbs but I hear the traffic situation is quite bad. Current consultants in Atlanta, how much time do you actually spend in the office vs remote vs client site? Would you advise I try and stay closer to the office?

100% I did just that! I manage a global team so 90% of my meetings are on Teams. My company was trying to force me to move for 5 days on site. I refused; my boss and I basically got management to agree I would stay on remote until my boss could find my replacement. Meanwhile I found another job, fully remote, same salary and would allow me to relocate to another state. Leveraged that with my CEO and now have full approval to move, stay remote, same salary.
Very nice
I haven’t actively been in an office since 2021. And, I’m open to hybrid if it’s like 2 days a week. But, I’m full remote. I’ll take a pay cut to stay fully remote as well. A round trip commute for me would be 1.5-2.5 hours depending on traffic. And, the rent in the area of most law firm near me is 3.5+ for a studio. That’s a no for me.
Yes. I’m a senior associate and can do my work without colleague interaction (or at least do it remotely). Partners have no qualms with calling me remotely at 9pm; the same should be true at any other time of the day/week.
Apparently not, but not for lack of trying. I have been looking for a remote job for 4 months and no luck yet. I was more productive, and a significantly happier person overall when we were remote.
I recognize the value of interacting with colleagues in an office environment, so no, I wouldn't quit over that. I've learned an enormous amount from being around people. And that learning by osmosis couldn't be replicated while I was working remotely. If being remote is important to you, you should stick to your principles and quit if it's required. I see things quite differently, however.

Quitting over RTO makes sense if you’re reasonable certain you can land a comparable job with materially less in-person requirements (but even then, keep in mind that RTO policies are subject to change at the whims of management), OR you’ve already decided you don’t need the biglaw salary and were going to be stepping away anyway. Otherwise the reality is that most firms are moving in the same direction on office presence, and as a purely economic matter (i get you may have overriding considerations), quitting over RTO is probably a bad decision.
No. But i did switch to 90% so that my billable hr requirement is 1800 not 2000. That makes it more doable to do the commute and stuff, especially with a little one
Yes, I need time to calm my nervous system and hide from the current managing class of hostile lead paint victims and it also allows me to dodge sxl harassment when necessary, which it has been necessary many times!
Im not going to let it destroy my resume but it is high on the priority list for my next move and that will happen asap. If management wants connection and cooperation in the office, they need to adapt to the modern era and find ways to build community without putting insane pressure on those of us working 60-100 hrs a week. Entire Fortune 500 companies are completely remote.
The senior people WFH and when they were associates, things absolutely were not like this; so no, they did not do what they're asking us to.
In the economy of 2021-24? Absolutely.
Today? Lol I'm a fed and didn't quit, so absolutely not. I can go to the private sector if I need to but it'll be for hybrid at best it seems.
Until the economy improves and job market improves I'm sheltering in place, despite how unpleasant this current job is
I would personally find another job (and would only ever recommend quitting after you’ve secured another job if you can at all help it) — I think in office presence really benefitted me as a new attorney, but now as a senior I really don’t need that level of help with development anymore and have the relationships to call people up when I do want help with something really tricky. And a “cubicle”?! Absolutely not.
Were you in practice pre-2020? Because in-office was the industrywide norm before then, and for most of the offices in the South, it actually remained that way during covid. This whole WFH era is a really new thing, and it seems like there's a shift towards at least hybrid if not fully back in office.
Whether you decide to adapt or resist and find am alternate option is really a personal decision. I go through phases where I WFH for weeks on end, and then I go into the office for weeks on end, but I imagine we're at different stages of our career.
I think "mandate" should be taken loosely. Lots of firms say they require it, but it's not enforced. And the way it IS enforced is typically when it comes time for promotion or maybe bonus. In my experience, if you're productive, well-respected, and well-liked, no firm is going to fire or take other adverse action against you for rarely (if ever) coming in. Especially if you're not gunning for partnership. Different ball of wax if you're looking to lateral, as you obviously can't lie about your intentions and fewer and fewer firms are willing to hire for fully (or close to it) remote roles.
Out of curiosity, how many years did you work in a law firm before March 2020?
I would absolutely find another job if my firm enforced RTO for me. But I have the leverage to do so. I’m a Senior Associate with some of my own clients and function ostensibly as a Partner now. I’m fully remote and signed an offer that designates me as fully remote. I live far from the office. Firm announced 4-day in-office requirement and I assumed it didn’t apply to me. Thereafter, Office Managing Partner told me the office Partners talked with firm leadership and told them to leave me alone about coming in and nothing yet. We’ll see whether they hold it against me for Partnership promotion though. Would definitely take a GC role rather than start the clock for Partnership at a new firm.
If you could get another remote position, why not? Seems important to you, so do it.
Most legal assistants don’t work as many hours as the attorneys do but just 2-4 hours (1 or 2 days) of not having to commute to work makes such a difference in attitude and production. Unfortunately, I only have 1 day WFH and I’ll be forever trying to get 2 days. When I come into work the next day I feel much happier and energized. Better work life balance and great mentally.
I’m learning quite a few would rather work remote because they are tired of the office politics and garbage that goes on inside the office and those that still do work remote are quite content and choose not to ever step back inside the office environment. However, on the flip side, we still need social interaction outside our own personal home office. However is that balanced? I can be just as content inside the house all days until grief strikes and I need human interaction.
I believe remote work is super great as long as it is balanced.
I would hope that most of us have friends and activities we like to do (not to mention family) who are/that are completely unrelated to our current jobs. Perhaps not just starting out in a new city, but otherwise
