I’ve done this on a project in Monaco where it was cheaper, we got apartments that we paid for by the month. You don’t get points and it’s not as comfortable but you can stay weekends.

Same at Deloitte. The policy specifically states regular 4 day/week onsite required and 90 days minimum project length.

I’d do it if the project was truly long term, but for three months, give me those points baby

Yes. Run the cost model and difference and show the savings. That's it

What’s the difference between this and you simply moving there, other than the firm completely paying for your living expenses?

Not wanting to pay for your own expenses duh

Besides tax issues it’s just a matter of financials. If you’re East Coast to another East Coast city, your flights are probably cheaper than a few extra hotel nights.

East to west coast? Your hotel may be cheaper and it would make sense

Yeah, we’ve got people doing it now on the project

Yes. I had a long term project based in NYC and my firm paid for an apartment for me to live in. Best time of my life getting to experience life in the city while not paying the city rent...!

Hi Recruiters!
I have a question for you. I have been looking for a remote job (in HR) at a credit union. They are so hard to come by! I just found one. One of the requirements is a degree, which I don’t have.
Do you find that most hiring managers won’t budge on that?
The recruiter is listed on the job. Do you think it is a good idea to message her and ask if it would be a deal breaker before I apply? Or should I just apply and hope for the best?
Thank you!
