If I am staffed on a remote project, do I have to work out of my home office location or can I travel to another city (for personal reasons) and work from there? Do I have to tell my manager?

Remote projects/roles are all about trust. In terms of can you travel to another city—it depends on your manager. So long as my team gets their work done, I don’t care where they work from. But...I do expect them to be available during business hours in our project location and attend our regular project meetings. If I know they have to go somewhere, we can make adjustments. If they travel and we don’t know, that breaks the trust.

I would say you can work from wherever, but let your manager know. Remote roles are highly dependant on open communication and trust

Been working completely remote for the past 6 months as an Analyst. I've worked from across the country a few times. Just always be available during business hours, have call forwarding to your cell set at all times, and be willing to put in the kind of work nobody can question... nobody will question where you are at that point.

Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.

Should I stay or should I go?

My joining date was 15 September, so am I eligible for upcoming appraisal as the annual review is due by October 14 and I have just joined a project?
