I've been thinking about the whole remote work versus in-office debate. Some people thrive with the flexibility of working from home, while others believe that in-person collaboration drives creativity. Personally, I find it depends on the role and individual preferences. What do you think?

Lol, it doesn't matter. It's the company's decision so we have to decide how important the paycheck is. This debate is old and tired.

I work better remotely and am fortunate to still be able to do so. HRD is right though. Employee preferences don't count for anything. We do what we're told or have to move on.

We certainly do! I know that, but it's fun to think about these things though, imagine what it would be like.

I think everyone and every position is different; however, I love remote work and it's clear that in so many roles it's just as effective, sometimes more. When I don't have to stop to commute (I have a long drive), you get so much more out of me. I understand there are certain positions and industries where there needs to be in-person, BUT, I also think there are many that could be remote & leaders who say they need people in office simply because of creativity, innovation, or collaboration need to get with the times. Sometimes that is just "old school" thinking and you can have just as much creativity, innovation & collaboration working from home. I would love to be almost fully remote again, but am currently hybrid.

It depends on how the company prioritizes. There can be just as much collaboration and creativity remotely as in-person. Individual preferences can also fuel that ability to want to collaborate, but as said, it is ultimately up to the company.

I agree with you ...it really depends on the person and the job. I do my best thinking at home, but I have seen teams spark ideas faster face to face. Forcing one way on everyone never works. What setup helps you thrive?

Depends on your preference and what the job entails. I work hybrid as I have some days at home that I class as my dedicated catch up on tasks where I have no distractions and any other tasks that require me talking to others are easier to be done in the office. Honestly does depend on your job and what works best for you.

I've worked in-office and remote and they each have their own benefits. I had worked in-office for years before working remotely, and I'd say I learned a huge amount from being in the office atmosphere. You just pick up a lot from your coworkers, and that's really not possible in a remote scenario. I think the ideal situation would be to start a career in the office and then eventually gravitate toward remote work. But without the years in the office I think you just miss a lot.

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!

Hi, where or what types of companies should sophomores & juniors apply for next summer (2022) to recruit for IB the following summer (2023)? This summer BBs wrapped up SA IB recruitment, EBs even earlier, and a fair amount of my friends missed out big time.

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).

And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.
