Do we think there will be fully remote jobs at the big four after all this? My work life balance has increased exponentially and I absolutely enjoy my job now. It’d suck for it to change. I get it’s apparently an unpopular opinion, but I there are some of us thriving in this environment.

PwC already had some fully remote jobs but they announced there will be more options for fully remote but most people will be a hybrid.

I agree. Work life balance is incredible right now and I’m more efficient. Even though BDO is not a big 4, I think they will give us more options to work from home but not 100% remote and I’m sure B4 will be the same.

Hi Fishes, Please comment your WFH status with the base location and company name.

Mine is @Genpact Bangalore and WFH is still going on.

How is the Thoughtworks working model?
1. Full time Work From Office.
2. Hybrid (how many days work from office are needed in a week or month?)
3. Completely Flexible (employees can work remotely as much as they want)

Does anyone know whether there’s a red tape type reason an associate couldn’t transition to fully remote in another state? I work in New York office but team based in Charlotte office so already technically remote but considering a move to a state where we don’t have an office. Partner wouldn’t care so wondering if there’s potential admin/tax issues.

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.

How is the work life balance in a big 4 firm for a senior in the tax department year round?

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!
