When receiving dinosaur equipment from the client…

Thank you all for your patience. I do appreciate it. It turns out having a side project while running multiple proposals is a trifle challenging. That said. I’m posting a first subset of the rawish data. In all close to 500 people took the survey, but a majority were from the Big Four. Here is the data from Deloitte, EY, KPMG, and PWC. Insights to come! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1lN6JrxQfvA_MC4XFZ38G0ppQkBuxRv9mf88Y8NE2X2U/htmlview
Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.
I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.
Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.
Should I stay or should I go?

Here's your first tip, every office is a sad office
Home office is best office. Retirement is even better.
To be clear it seams like a pretty reasonable request, but it feels like so many people higher up are jaded and will immediately be like “look at this entitled young person.”
I’d debate digging into corporate policy and determine if I could charge time and mileage to the engagement if it’s not my home office.
At least you get that, and if they bring it up, just state your rationale and that it was policy…

Ask or you’ll never know! I’d just ask “hey is it okay if I start working out of the main office? It’s a lot closer to me. Let me know, thank you!” It’s not like you’re asking for a raise so no need to be afraid to ask. Worst they can say is no. Or fire you.

I’m sorry, you didn’t know that your employer can tell you to go work wherever they want you to work?
PwC 1 with the extra hot take! Good job, PwC 1!
This actually happened to me at my old firm and we compromised: 2 days in the office closest to me, 2 in the one closest to them and Fridays at home. You could try this and see if they agree.
