There were mounting studies showing they didn’t not deliver on productivity and teaming objectives and actually hurt productivity. But everyone knew they were about keeping real estate costs under control. Now, the pandemic has shown you can save on corporate real estate by making jobs that can done remotely into WFH or mostly WFH roles by default.

I need some advice! Currently in the process of getting a new job but have no idea what to ask for or what I should be making. My new potential role is Account Supervisor at a pharma agency, is asking for $95k reasonable? I’m currently a senior account manager with 6 years experience but worked abroad for my entire career so I have no idea what I should be making. I don’t have pharma experience but this agency is still interested in me so I’m wondering if what I’m asking for is too high?
