I'm a new, working and commuting mama ISO your opinion. Would you rather: commute 3-4 hours a day x 3 days/week but get to wfh 2x/week OR take a job 25 mins away but is less likely to allow wfh?

25 minutes. Holy hell 4 hours of commuting sounds awful.

I'm leaning that way. Zero time to do anything personal. Weekends are loaded with all the things i can't get done mon through wedns.

That 25 min. away job is just over 4 hours of commuting a week. The other is 9-12. Sitting is the new smoking so take the closer one. Also I personally find that the more similar in routine each and every day is, the saner me and my family are.

Closer is so much better with kids. You will have so many things to run out for and get back for and need to be there for- 25 min and back can be done in a long lunch if daycare calls. Or you can work till 5 and still make aftercare pick up. Or take the kid to the ped and still be in by 10. That’s practically a dream for many people.

Try a marketing role (not consulting) at a consulting firm. We WFH at least 3x week but super flex schedule— I sometimes don’t go into the office for months. :)))

Those are the first roles to go when there are agency cuts. Being non-billable is a risk. Check the health of the agency before making that kind of move.

Closer , works out better over time

Hi guys,
Need help,I am joining
VMware Banglore on 27th June. During interview I told them I need wfh. They said it wil be wfh this entire year. Only mistake I did was i didn't permanent wfh. I took for granted like once I join i can opt for it ( as my VMware friends had said we can opt for it)
Now the offices have started, I am scared if they call me to office , I have 14months son, not willing to leave him n go for office.

So if I ask manager to give me permanent wfh will they agree ?

I hold an offer of 18LPA from KPMG with joining date of 7th September. (Wfh)
I applied at Workday on 15th May and went through 7 technical rounds of interview and received a verbal offer letter of 21LPA (hybrid)
Now apparently their technical panel "forgot" about the interview and wants to have a discussion again as 8th technical interview. HR says their joining date will be 19th September.

Should i join KPMG?

I started my new job completely remotely in June and when we go back to the office, it would be a 1.2 hour, 40-mile one way commute.. Would it be entitled of me to ask to come into the office 3x/week since by the time that we return to the office, I’ve already proven that I can work efficiently from home? I feel like it’s a much more sustainable option.
