I'm throwing this long shot out there. Is it still possible to find a fully remote role at any of the larger firms? (i.e. the Big 4, RSM, Thornton, etc.) or am I stuck working for smaller, lower paying companies if I want to WFH?

Not sure if your title is correct (mines not) but if you truly are associate level it’s probably going to be a harder sell to be remote.

I’m remote now but I’m a SM on a team I have a history with that let me stay coded to them when I moved to a different state. I also worked B4 primarily remote.. did go to the office during a peak busy week or two and went to the client site occasionally - but I was on a specialty national team that had no other members in my local office so no one really cared if I was there. That was at a manager level also.

It’s a bit harder when you’re new to your career because you don’t have the history or experience that will speak for itself.

I work from home (fully remote) and work for a large firm. Have to travel to clients via plane at times. And have to go to the office every once in a while. But most weeks it’s 5 days at home. I will say it’s hard to achieve this and be successful at it. Also - it can be limiting, meaning that promotions are hard to get while remote.

It’s much easier to land fully remote positions once you reach the manager level.

Not for a staff or senior. You are stuck taking a shower and communting, or working on a crappy company on a craply role. There are exceptions of course, but that is a good general rule bud,

It’s gonna be tough at your level even if you land it, to advance and get promoted. You need face time.
