I recently joined Allstate india and my manager is forcing me to come to office twice a week. During negotiations, I had made it clear that I didn't want to work from office due to personal commitment.
Please suggest:
1. Is my understanding correct that Allstate india is currently not forcing employees to come to office and my manager is an exception?
2. How can I say no without pissing off the manager given I have just joined the company?
Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.
I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.
Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.
Should I stay or should I go?

What is your hours worked to hours billed ratio?
If you are thinking of starting a law practice or growing one with little or no capital, you need to get the book, “Starting & Growing a Law Practice without Breaking the Bank.
It was written based on personal experience and research. I started my practice 11 years ago in the middle of the 2008/2009 recession with about $500 and I have grown the practice significantly over the years using affordable and available resources.
I also coach solo practitioners and small firm attorneys. https://www.amazon.com/Starting-Growing-Practice-Without-Breaking/dp/1099523303
I hate being an attorney. How do I get out.

Pay attention! My first associate position was at a firm where there where some bad reviews which at the time I considered disgruntlement reviewers. But after a year it was abundantly clear that those people hit it on the head with their reviews. Bosses, just like employees, don’t show true colors until your in it. So it makes interviewing really tough because bosses talk a lot of talk but realities can be much different. What I’ve learned is that the best firms/partners are those that don’t try to convince you they are “nice” or the “are an awesome place to work”… I now am at an awesome firm and that interview process was super real, grounded, no flashy promises. Turns out when you have good work environments, you don’t feel the need to try to prove they are good to potential associates.
