Posting this out of curiosity (follow up from a previous post since a lot of people replied confirming their companies are forcing RTO for remote hires). Why do you think that companies are forcing RTOs on employees that were hired as remote (even prior to COVID)? I understand some roles benefit from working at the same location
My thoughts on reasons:
1) force employees to quit so they can avoid layoffs
2) tax breaks on commercial spaces
3) older C suite execs that want to micromanage

Hi,

Today I will be having an interview with Hexaware for data science role. I appreciate for sharing key points to crack it, and how well is the work culture & is it WFH ?

I used to be a happy guy, then over the past 5 years of being in public accounting I’ve gradually turned super cynical and hopeless. WFH has definitely added fuel to the fire because I’m super outgoing and vibe off of others. I’ve been actively looking for a new role but nothing good has come up for 6ish months. Any tips on how to get through the rest of busy season? I’m really struggling... to the point of almost crying daily. I told my manager and the firm doesn’t give AF apparently.
