I’m interviewing for a job that's almost exclusively spreadsheet and data management. I'm hesitant to accept an offer (if I get one) because they will want me in the office 5 days a week. My current job is hybrid, but the environment there is awful, and I need out. But I don't want to trade one problem for a useless commute. Should I try to negotiate a hybrid schedule with them or wait for something else?

Both. Continue your search until you sign an offer letter. If you are willing to decline the current offer if they don't flex on the hybrid schedule then ask. If you are so desperate to leave your current role that you will tolerate the commute to get out then it's still worth asking and accepting either way.

Do you mind me asking what is awful about the environment? I’ve noticed this being just the new norm everywhere I go. The environment is terrible. Everywhere. What happened to jobs that provide a positive environment?

OP will have to give their reasons but from my career the usual contributing factors are toxic and/or micromanaging leadership, understaffing so each employee is overwhelmed, and can also refer to the people in one's team/department.

You can see if they’d budge on the hybrid plan whilst also searching for other roles

How long will the commute be at the new place?

If you do get an offer, you can try to negotiate a hybrid work set up, even if it's 30, 60, or 90 days after your start date for any training you may need.

You can always continue your job search even if you do take this new job

Hi all,

Do firms match offers from other Big 4s for campus hires? I’ve received a campus offer from both
KPMG and EY. I’m more interested in the EY offer, but they are paying 3k less than KPMG.

Would it be a bad move to let them know about the other offer and try negotiating? I feel it wont make a difference in the long run, but at the same time I don’t want to leave any money on the table if possible.

Thanks!
