How strict is KPMGs three days in the office policy? Considering taking an offer there and living 2 hours from the office, but probably won’t do it if I definitely need to be there three days a week. Thoughts?

Def depends on team. The expectation is that you are in the office three times a week, take that for what it is worth.

Yes, it does appear to be the wrong post!

They track badge swipes so if you don’t go in the 3 days, it is discussed in your performance review. They don’t want to rank you as high as others who are going in and contributing to their teams in that way. Would recommend asking about the potential to be fully remote from the start or at the very least, an AWA but that’s temporary.

It’s one of numerous objectives. It is monitored and you don’t want to be an outlier, and agree it was one of the factors when comparing peers, but other factors like quality, utilization, other contributions also are all bucketed for the overall picture. But I wouldn’t start a job thinking you already aren’t up for the rules - either be transparent during the interview about your location or maybe not the best fit for you

Let’s say you take this job they may be ok with your WFH but could reduce your bonus for not complying with policy

In tax you would be capped as “in line.” Putting you above that would require a business case that goes all the way up to the US head of tax. Source: official HR guidelines during round tables.

Uhh ours just required a PML to write an explanation. And we were all about 50% or slightly below so essentially everyone who got higher than in-line got an explanation.
