My agency is forcing us to go back to the office starting tomorrow with 5 days a week in office. The only way out of it is if you have valid reason such as living with someone who is immunocompromised. Also might add we have to sit at our desks with masks ON all day. I’m super uncomfortable and I guess it’s time to find a new job. Can people let me know NYC based agencies hiring with a flex RTO plan??

My office is making us go in starting this week on Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays. No exceptions. And no masks.

I am very nervous about it too. They are acting like they're being so generous and that it's super "flexi". I'm job hunting now, that's just one of the reasons that I am.

Hi peeps!
Got two offers on the table, who love to hear your advice!

- Finance Business Partner for a late stage (Series D/valuation 3B) startup tech company

- Corp Dev analyst role for a listed niche gambling company

The tech job pays 15k more, but from what I can see will be a cluster and super long hours (has EU stakeholders). Maybe a pipe dream, but I want to have a "somewhat" decent wlb while still growing my career toward strategy and finance.

Thoughts on which one is better?
