Worth having the conversation because you will cross paths again. BUT, they should have wanted to talk to you about your aspirations long before this. Make that known.

Talk about it. You don’t have to take their counter, and no reason to burn a bridge.

Take it as a compliment - meet, listen, be grateful - and keep it moving if that’s what you want!

How do people focus in the office? I'm a first year and I've been mostly wfh since I started and I'm super productive at home - my setup is comfortable, I rarely get interrupted, and I feel like I can stay really focused in my home office.

Our SAs started today, so the firm is making us come in more often. My office set up is so awkward, screens are too small, and I'm constantly getting interrupted. Not to mention the extra time it took to get ready and commute. How do people do this?
