Hi Fishes, I have offers from PwC(risk advisory) and IBM(app development). Thing is that the PwC joining is at Kolkata location but I don't want to go there and stay. There is not much difference between the offers in terms of package(10 & 10.4). Can I ask PwC to provide WFH or change my office location for this? Deloitte EY PwC KPMG

I've come to realize that WFH is mostly dependent on how miserable your leadership is. If they are a happy person with a healthy family life, they'll push for it..if they are a miserable person inside and out, they enjoy being on the road away from their life problems and won't support you at all with WFH requests.
Doesn't hurt to ask. Some people want to WFH, and some people don't have a home. Some projects could be done entirely remote, and others can accomplish little remotely. Good managers try to balance all this out, and seek staff input . Volunteering your interests is just more data points for consideration, and if done appropriately, could be helpful
Yes. In our project we brought it up, now only travel alternate weeks. It's amazing to be home 2 weeks out of a month. If they don't listen pull the F&P card
You won't get it unless you do, so I would go with yes.
Bring it up
Our whole project keeps asking for this - people are dying for a little WFH. The client is even concerned about cost, so it makes sense for us to WFH more to save them some expenses. But our project management keeps turning us down. Says the client won't have it cause they don't think we work if we're not on site. So annoying.
Good luck to you, though. You never know until you ask!
Definitely ask for it. Just say you need to go to the dr, dentist, have important weekday evening event etc. I don't think it's unreasonable if you're on a long travel engagement to ask for this small reprieve, we all need random life moments like above.
I agree. I'm so miserable. I am not getting any reprieve from a year long project. If this continues I'll quit
