I keep seeing so many folks talk about how they’re back in-office, but I’m still fully remote with full flexibility to WFH. I’m looking to possibly get a new job in the next few months - should I mention to interviewers/recruiters that I enjoy working from home and need that as a requirement if I’m to accept a new position elsewhere? I’m open to travel to on-site for client workshops or new business pitches, but I want to be WFH besides that.

Yes, you should definitely mention that to a potential employer

Be sure to mention you’re more productive at home which most of us are

Yes and make it clear from the start that you're looking for a company that can provide this. Don't say you prefer it, say you need it/are only looking for positions with WFH. Some people are sneaky and will draw you in with remote promises and then they spring relocation on you in the final offer.

Yup. Be honest upfront. You can also focus your job search to remote-only positions to help avoid awkward conversations.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working as a contract TAS for 6 months in a medical device company. I started part time and as it became busier/my trainer quit, I became full-time. I applied for the TA position through corporate and would like some insight. the company is short staffed and my site specifically does not have good TA retention. For the salary expectation, I put in 85k which is in the range. I’m currently at 64k which is below the minimum of the range. Is this realistic?
