Got a consulting job offer from Deloitte and Kpmg. Can I reasonably negotiate remote work from home or is this just not going to happen despite covid?

We are currently still remote with no requirements to get back to office if you aren’t comfortable. No timeline when that will change.

But there is no guarantee that you can stay permanently remote.

Bet it’s the same for Deloitte too and you can’t possibly negotiate to permanent remote work.

Yup. Still virtual, gradually opening up and I doubt you can get a fully remote role. Prepare to travel at some point in the future once you are comfortable.

I got a remote L6 SWE offer at Google but the RSUs are too low for that level ($625k over 4 years), could not negotiate it higher.
