Curious if any firms are starting to evaluate office space needs/changes moving forward post-Covid. My firm is and we’ve spent a ton of money on a consultant who I’m convinced doesn’t understand what we actually do day to day.

Yes. One size offices for all. Hotelling-reservation system for people that primarily wfh. Half the footprint than in the past.

Right now it is 3 but no strict enforcement. Unclear where it will shake out. We need to downsize first because right now at least in my office we have more offices than attorneys.

We have half the size. Everyone works from home. Reserves conference room or office as needed

Dedicated office only if you commit to 3x a week in office otherwise you hotel. Everyone has the same size office.

We did that during the beginning of the pandemic. We were already paperless and soft hybrid. Now, we’ve closed at lease one physical office, consolidated others, invested in remote office set ups, have announced a formal hotel policy and people work from home or in the office when they want or need to, flexible. Staff still come in for the paper mail daily or every other day. It’s helped attract talent.

Are you aware of the CPA exam credit extension to 2021 for NY CPA candidates impacted by COVID19? It’s on a person-by-person basis and you need to request the extension. Has anyone tried doing this yet? Can anyone shine more light on this? The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.

Have offer from Nagarro Gurgaon. Is it possible to relocate to Bangalore post covid instead of Gurgaon ?

Hi all! I need some advice. I came in at a lower level than I wanted and turns out, I did a shitty deal at negotiating. I’m up for a promotion (title but not salary bc of COVID) - when salary increases are a thing, how much should I negotiate for? Like percentage wise, with the fact that I’m about 7-10K underpaid compared to other people with the current title?
