Recruiters, why do I see so few or no hybrid jobs of late? I think the whole concept of going to the office 2- 3 times per week to brainstorm with the team and then be an island, working and executing on the ideas, is ideal for this field. Why is it not being encouraged more??

It feels like a lot of companies are using RTO as a control/culture lever again, especially in creative fields. I agree hybrid is ideal for brainstorming + deep work, but I’m guessing it’s cheaper and “simpler” for leadership to enforce one rule than manage nuance.

A combination of many things. Some people genuinely believe it's better. Mostly, it's an outdated, old school mindset that employees are not working if you can't see them. Some companies use RTO as a way to cut their numbers without having to do layoffs.

I’m not naive or fresh out of law school, but I’m at a point where I’m saying to myself “Why can’t I have it all?” I’ve been offered a job for more pay and less hours and I keep thinking to myself, what’s the catch? I know people will say no promotion potential or that’s not how it works…but what if it could? What if you make yourself valuable by still setting your boundaries? Why would we resent someone who has that opportunity?

I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable? I expect my workload to remain at this level through the end of the year at least.

Should I reach out to the recruiter, too? Or is that overkill after two recos? I don't want to be bothersome. But I do want to show interest..
