I just finished my first round interview with a company who has a policy that requires employees to go into the office one day a week. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I feel like if you’ve narrowed it down to one day a week you might as well just give it up altogether.

I politely disagree. The one day may be designated as the day everyone from your team goes in and serves as a day of idea sharing. Culturally, having that one day in the office can be a big boost and facilitate a lot of conversations you wouldn’t normally have through a Zoom call. It can also serve as a bonding mechanism. Having a company build or maintain a positive culture is really difficult having a workforce that is 100% remote, so the 1 day in the office is a way of meeting employee wants and employer needs half way. My firm has instituted where most employees should to be in the office 3 days a week with the expectation being that most everyone is in Tuesday through Thursday. No one is sitting there doing attendance so it’s not like it is strictly enforced. I believe the in person interaction has been really beneficial to us and helps build trust. Just my two cents.

I'm gonna second this. I think going in one day a week is a good thing. Its really important for morale in my opinion.

What firm? Honestly that sounds ideal.

I just got a job offer for an Entry Level Software Engineer at Boeing in Saint Louis. The salary is $82,000 with an $8,000 sign on bonus. I was hoping for an offer closer to 90k base and I don’t care too much for a sign on bonus. However, this is a lot more than what I’m making now, and would be my first SWE job. Should I counter? If so, how would I go about doing that? Thanks!
