I took a secondment in 2021 and now returning to PwC US next month. Before covid, was on the road 4 days a week every week. Is it the same now? Or are clients following more of a hybrid or remote work culture?

That’s awesome!

Very client dependent. I had clients that wanted nothing to do with us being in office and clients that wanted everyone in person M-Th every week. Tech being the former and financial services being the latter, which probably isn't a big suprise.

Some teams also try to foster a travel culture and some offices also try to have a majority in-office presence.

Thats about as "it depends" an answer as you'll get. Try to reconnect with folks you worked with before and you'll likely get a more directly relevant response.

This makes sense and quite aligned with my previous innings. Thank you!

Covid has been hard. March 2029- December 2020 I drank a lot to cope without realizing it. January- March I didn't realize I was depressed. March I came to terms with increase and ongoing suicidal ideation and needed help.

I went into a intensive outpatient program (IOP) which has been super helpful.

During the beginning of covid I drank every day and in a great deal. January it was a "dry" month which was hard the first week but overall great.

March 2021 realized I'm clinically depressed.

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
