NYC fish! Need some advice. I recently got laid off at my firm but am thankfully making it to the final rounds of another great firm. The only catch is that they're no longer hiring for the NYC office, only Philly and Princeton. Any thoughts or advice? The firm is tentatively staying remote until April but I think that could change given that cases are rising. Sincerely, a stressy depressy consultant

I’d focus on getting the job. Supposedly relocating employees is not top priorities for firms now

This is sort of unethical advice but i’d tell them you could commit to eventual in-person work and continue with the interview process. And meanwhile look for other jobs. Worst case scenario you work there for half a year and quit when you go on site.

Also there’s no way the whole country is gonna get vaccinated by then. It’s a huge logistical issue not to mention a potential political one with all the antivaxxers out there. There’s no studies showing long term efficacy of the vaccines— it hasn’t even been shipped out yet. It’ll be a huge challenge so i think April is quite optimistic.

Take it, you need income and that’s several months to figure out your next steps if they do return to on-site in April. Princeton, if I recall, is also on the NJ Transit line which is super cheap and only an hour commute, if you’re frugal like me. I commuted back and forth daily to Philadelphia for work for a number of months and it’s also doable.
