Displaced from a fully remote position in 2024, I’m now employed by a financial firm but the in office requirement is putting a strain on my family. I like the job, mgr & company but RTO compliance is part of next year‘s performance plan. I‘m still job searching. The subject matter I work in is very niche so my leaving could be detrimental. If I get an offer for a remote role, is it worth taking to my current company to try to negotiate remote work? Do I give them a chance to say yes or no?

No, choose a company that is smart enough to value flexible work. Even if they promise you more work-from-home days, they are likely to try to revoke it later or give you bad reviews if you don't come in.

Ask them without another offer. Tell them. Explain. Vocalize your feelings without a threat. If they still refuse, then you have all the reasons to invest your time in all those interviews.

You never know. They may let you be remote. It’s not unheard of. For example, myself and my team are fully remote while the entire department goes to the office. You got this.

I disagree. If you never voice your concerns or needs to your employer, then that’s on you. Good employees are assets that I fight to keep.

The new firm might also change to have a return to work requirement. Hard to believe the firms that embraced work at home have reverted to mandated in-person requirements.

Financial services? No.

I know people at big financial firms that are mandated 5 days. They are either visiting clients/prospects or at work - they monitor key cards now

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
