Hello, I’m soon accepting an offer in Consulting. Is there a hard requirement about days worked in the office? I am (possibly) leaving an almost entirely remote position. I can’t seem to get a straight answer…

As mentioned it’s hard to get a straight answer as it depends. Officially we’re meant to be in the office 40 to 60% of our time. The policing of that can be pretty lax.

Most teams have an anchor day you should be in for each week but everything else depends on your client / engagement lead / counsellor.

Plan on being in twice a week and the flex around that.

There is no official 40-60%. It really depends on your project and your team. At least that’s how it works in UKI Consulting

Depends on your project and team. I work in PAS and I have seen many people who almost never come to office or like once a month etc.

What area in consulting?

Hi guys,
Need help,I am joining @VMware Banglore on 27th June. During interview I told them I need wfh. They said it wil be wfh this entire year. Only mistake I did was i didn't permanent wfh. I took for granted like once I join i can opt for it ( as my VMware friends had said we can opt for it)
Now the offices have started, I am scared if they call me to office , I have 14months son, not willing to leave him n go for office.

So if I ask manager to give me permanent wfh will they agree ?
