On WFH projects are you typically still expected to report to the home office occasionally? Probably going remote soon and not sure if I should start looking into getting rid of my lease

I'd advise against moving from dc if you're aligned with the federal practice.

Most of us work both federal and commercial. I'm not sure what everyone's industry alignment is.

.. How long is the engagement?

Uncertain likely around 6-8 months

How's your relationship with the SM/PPD on the engagement?
If good, go for it - Local Offices understand if you don't come by on Fridays, especially if you have a stressful engagement..

Depends on project, I was mostly WFH with occasional in person meetings in office.

Don't really know the partner but know the manager. I'm federal but the major reason I'm going remote is so I can spend time with my SO on the west coast. Not the end of the world if I have to fly back to D.C. every once in a while for a meeting but not sure if it's going to be frequent enough for me to justify keeping my lease as opposed to just getting a hotel when I have to visit. Definitely not planning on coming every Friday haha

I'm on a WFH project and we come in for team meetings once every week or two.

Thanks d2. Does everyone on your team live in the immediate area? I've seen people on WFH federal projects based in Chicago and Atlanta, can't imagine them flying in every Friday

I'm in la and no one comes in on Fridays

This is a federal project. Most of us are in dc, but we have people who live in Philadelphia, Chicago, ATL and two commercial folks out of NYC. They commute down and that's charged internally.

So the people in Chicago and Philly are federal people who just decided to live in those cities and they can still charge their travel internally? Sorry for the questions, just trying to figure out how I can make this work

Oh so it's a cross-sector project. Not sure if that works the same way then but thanks for the info!

Agreed, I already have a place to stay out west since I'll be moving in with my SO but I was hoping to save money by getting rid of my lease until the project is over. Would be so much easier if I was commercial

You'll probably want to go in the office occasionally to see people. I go in most Tuesdays.

Yeah I was more hoping to alternate months between coasts because the flight is a pain/expensive but I guess I'll have to negotiate with my manager based on project needs

What are peoples opinions on work from home? It seems to be an unpopular opinion but as a junior I despise it. I work 3 feet from my bed, I find the barriers of a phone/email between me and a senior to add a huge amount of stress to my life and I think it’s stunting my career development at my firm because I can’t build relationships as effectively. I’ve never at all had mental health issues before but now am really starting to feel burnt out and anxious most of the time. What do you think?

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?
