If you have a flexible working situation right now, what makes you WANT to go into the office?

From 180k full time to 200k and 10 percent sweat equity in a boutique consulting firm as their cto, to kickstart their AWS practice .. any thoughts. This new company does not have any product thinking or strategy and full lifecycle cloud delivery pedigree yet ..

I am going to India for a month. May have to change my return date. Any suggestion on what insurance/other option to reduce the ticket update cost impact.

Litecoin is stable AF lately

Been planning for months to move to Chicago but I’m just seeing more and more news about crime getting worse, even in the nice areas…

Not sure what to do, I desperately want to move out of NYC and start somewhere new 🥺

Just tell me what you like and what you don’t ffs. I don’t want to have to “talk” about it.

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

My wife and I just had our second child, and we have also been dealing with her cervical cancer diagnosis. It has been a stressful year, to say the least. I want to do something nice for her, but money is tight right now because of the cancer treatment costs, and her being on unpaid leave because of the cancer treatments. What is something low cost I can do that will be a nice “couples thing” so we can de-stress, but also make her feel special?

Partners - Do you ever take vacations?

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.

For those who have been driving the daily thread posts (senior tax accountant / KPMG / etc) please DM me if interested in becoming a community leader for this bowl. I’ll put you in touch with Sam from Fishbowl. Thanks!

Any book recommendations about human psychology / thought processes?

Are agencies pretty good at hiring on if they “wanna try you out Freelance first”?

Do you regret accepting an early promotion?

Have a great weekend everyone! :)

Who’s enjoying the Town Hall 👀

I have a friend at IBM who let me know they will be hybrid, only in office as needed. Not sure when that new policy is starting though

Is there anyone going back full time? If so, when? Curious to hear thoughts on that if you are returning to the office 5x per week

I hate politics, which means I suck at Office Politics. Any advice, learning experiences, or insight for someone who knows he has to be better at it?

Am very curious to hear about people’s companies’ hybrid plans! (If they have one).

My company will be in the office 1-3 days per week starting in September. They have made it very clear that the future of work is hybrid

Email from leadership last week. We can go back as soon as 7/5 with permission. Had to let our boss know. Phase 1 will begin in July and go through end of Sept, provided schools are re opened. Future phases will be announced at a later date. So, I guess at this point in time, things are still up in the air.

Has anyone’s company moved their return to office date FORWARD? Curious to hear of anyone’s experience

Returning June 1, likely 2-3 days/wk. Houston, TX.

I have to have an official ADA convo with HR about requesting to continue to WFH and not move back to NYC. Has anyone gone through this process?

Thanks for this bowl, Bowl Leader! Anyone hear any news within Accenture?

Google pushed back their return to office to January 2022 from October 2021

Deloitte is remote until at least Sept 6, you can only access offices earlier with express permission. Some limited travel is occurring to client site prior to then.

Is anyone’s company shifting to a hybrid in office/wfh model?

Just got return to office email. People can start coming in 6/1 but still limited access. Seems like September will be a more official return. They’ve said 75% of us will remain hybrid wfh/in office after that (NYC)

Tentative plan is September with flexibility after. Haven’t disclosed how many days will be wfh/in office. Location is NYC

Thanks to everyone who joined! If anyone has any idea of their company’s return to office plans feel free to share, along with your city/location :)

Too lazy to post the article, but Microsoft’s RTO is 2/28. 50/50 split for in office/wfh
