I'm at a crossroads professionally.. I' very been just seeing what's out there for jobs. I've noticed a lot of temote positions. For those who work remotely, do you enjoy it? What are it's drawbacks?

I’ve been pretty much remote since Covid. Personally I just appreciate how much time I’ve gotten back in my life not spent getting ready or commuting. My company just announced rto starting in the fall tho two days a week. Not sure how they’ll enforce it since most of the company is remote.

I've been working remotely for the past few years, and I've gotten used to it and I find it quite productive. But, it took me a while to get to that point. When I started working from home during the pandemic I really had a hard time getting focused. It was just too easy to get distracted. And then over time that shifted, and now I find that I can really concentrate. This sounds a little nutty, but sometimes I have to remind myself to get up and move around and stretch my legs. I'll get so involved with what I'm doing that I'll sit for too long, which isn't great for one's health.

So, the CDC removed the Covid guidelines. I’ve never had Covid. I’m afraid people will come into work not wearing a mask and be inconsiderate… ughhh so distracting and disgusting. I’m also at risk to develop complications. Not sure if I should talk to HR. Not even sure if I should ask for accommodations to continue being able to wfh at least most days of the week to reduce risk. Idkkkk 😩This is so unprecedented. I always wear my mask at work. I’m getting pressured to attend firm events as well

PwC A recruiter from PWC reached out to me to ask if I’d consider a different office the one I applied to, since it’s full. It would be Boston, Hartford, Chicago, Minneapolis, Little Rock, Denver, San Francisco or San Jose. MSA candidate. Is there a fully remote option? Do you have to be in the office all the time? Is the compensation high at PWC? Is there a possible moving expenses? Any insight or advice would help me make a decision. Thank you!

I’ve been with my current company for a little over 5 years now and since the start of the pandemic have been WFH. I absolutely love WFH and have always wanted a position in which I could WFH. There is talk of bringing everyone back to the office full time and that’s not what I would like to happen. I’ve been searching for a new position in which it would be a remote role. My current company also said I am maxed out in term of what they are willing to pay salary wise.

Feels awkward to just randomly drop the news in a meeting! I work remotely so it’s hard to tell by video :) I’m 21 weeks and feel like I’ve waited as long as I can to at least notify my manager. I was waiting to negotiate my salary for next year but per company trend that doesn’t get set until January (manager reviews are written in Dec).
