As more insurance organizations push for increased days in the office, it’s becoming clearer that productivity isn’t necessarily tied to a physical location, especially for roles that are heavily digital and meeting driven, and in many cases the commute and constant interruptions actually reduce focus and output. What data or experience has most convinced you that fewer in office days can lead to better results?

Truthfully, I think role and where you are in the career are hugely impacted. During development, being in office does have major advantages, learning by being around others. Managers over teams of new hires are more effective with more rapid interaction.

At my company people aren’t really going to get up and help you out with anything, it’s a lot easier to share screens and walk someone through virtually… more than 1 day in office a week is one of a waste of time IMO

Hybrid is best especially for early careers. Interaction and talking to people is important, and it isn’t the same thing as meeting over zoom.

These companies have the data and can use it if they choose. If they chose to link to my output and production online at home v the office they would know.

Hi all - Soliciting feedback on comp for a new role.
Last role was an engineering manager at 185k, 10% bonus, RSUs, paid healthcare.
The first offer was a bit underwhelming. I'm trying to think of creative ways to respond with a counter offer. Offer is 150k base with 10k bonus, no equity or stock, and insurance premiums are a bit expensive. Base and bonus are what I have to work with. Initial thoughts were to give a hard "no" and continue interviewing.

My first 3 months will be training for my position but I will be paid the same. The job hasn’t offered me a dollar amount yet and I want to be best prepared.
