I’d think about it in terms of compromise. 3 days per week is competitive now because many are at 4 or 5. So if you can find 3 days per week take it while you can.

That is not cool

I’m 3 days in office but it’s very flexible, come and go when I want. On occasion I can just not go in. In addition to PTO I have 4 weeks of remote days I can use whenever I want within reason.

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.
