Have you heard of any agencies moving to a remote-first model? It seems like a no brainer for regional shops in a zip code that will never attract top talent.

Those zips can’t afford top talent so it’s moot. It’s great for high tier talent undiscovered in low tier markets.

This is not universally true.

Sure, the smaller, regional agencies can't afford top-tier talent.

But places like WK in Portland, Martin in Richmond, some agencies in Minneapolis (to name a few) pay on par with LA and NYC.

But they still struggle to get people to move there because it's not NYC or LA.

Remote is great, I'm ignoring recruiters from at least 3X as many markets now 😂

after we get on the other side of this, with a vaccine, do you think people will want to work “together” again? i thought that’s what made the stress and pressure to create great work worth it. i sure hope so.

if you see where you work as “where you work”, then i get not caring if you go back into the office.

as someone who likes what he does and who he does it with, i’m looking forward to the day when we can do it together in the same place. when it’s safe, of course.

Soon I will be working on designing a shared home office for my husband and me. Any ideas for the best kind of set up for this? For context, I work from home and he does not, but he is also an attorney who needs a desk and space to be able to work from home when needed. Thoughts on two separate desks facing each other, on separate walls, along a single wall? The only thing that I think would be a little weird is if we were back to back, in case of my video calls for work

Can folks from PwC share how exactly your all remote model works? So, an employee opting for remote works with any team across time zones ? Or across states in same time zone? Also, how do you staff on / find a project? Are there people working totally with teams outside their office, as say nobody or few in their own group/ office opted for remote model? Would that be true?
