Has anyone had experience transferring their home office within one year of starting somewhere? What is the process like? Would like to move closer to my parents. Thanks!

I did! It’s much easier now with the virtual environment, if you’re still planning to be with D. You’ll need to make sure you have a “game plan” for staffing after you’ve moved. They’ll approve but you’ll get a nastygram from HR saying you’ll need to be staffed within 4 weeks of your effective transfer date or face consequences.

FYI I was gps out of dc supporting a federal client, so they were weary of me having to transition to state and local and having to rebuild the little network I’d built in my 6ish months at the firm

Yes. It really doesn’t matter to most Big4 firms. Our model is sending the “talent” around the world as needed. Smaller more boutique firms have the luxury of building local pools for local clients.

The main caveat being industry driven areas. If you want to do bankruptcy work, Charlotte area is good; if you want to M&A work, NYC is good; if you want to do Energy work Houston is good, etc.

I’ve had to step away from social media for my own mental sanity as I have a major issue with comparing myself to peers when it comes to life stages. (Single female, 34, never married, no male prospects, dog mom.) As a result, I feel like I’m doing a disservice to myself professionally as social media is a HUGE communication channel. Any advice on staying away or including it in my life in healthy ways?

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

Anyone using your tv as a second monitor these days? Any advice on doing this wirelessly or without a giant HDMI cord going across my living room? I tried chrome cast and I don’t want to just mirror my screen, I need a dedicated second monitor. Thanks!

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid?

I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
