It varies by location, it's optional to go into the office, unless otherwise banned by local statute.

For the most part here in CA, though customer meetings are ever so slowly picking up in frequency.

Congratulations on the offer!
Well about the return to work situation- depends on the location. Here in India we’re still in Stage 5- Hybrid work, so the ones who want to work from office can go in. But not many are opting for it.
The offices in US are open but not many people are working over there. They prefer WFH. Only if their work is necessary to be done on premise, they need to go. Consult with HR to get to know more.

Conventional wisdom on current firm counter-offering when mentioning you have a few offers? I have an offer at a large firm in Miami.

How do people focus in the office? I'm a first year and I've been mostly wfh since I started and I'm super productive at home - my setup is comfortable, I rarely get interrupted, and I feel like I can stay really focused in my home office.

Our SAs started today, so the firm is making us come in more often. My office set up is so awkward, screens are too small, and I'm constantly getting interrupted. Not to mention the extra time it took to get ready and commute. How do people do this?
