Are you going to live in fear for the rest of your life?
Talk to you engagement manager or ppmd and say your not comfortable going into the office. Currently no one is forcing anyone into the office if you don’t feel ready. But if your based out of NYC the expectation is that your local to your office.
Let me be clear. I like NY, but I only like NY when it’s open and when work is normal. The last thing I want to do is spend $30k on rent to sit inside and not be able do anything.

I have a friend in New York area fighting a similar battle. He ended up getting a cheap hotel across the river and is going to give it a few weeks to see how delta plays out.
Same exact boat. I did some reflecting and realized nyc isn’t where I want to be.
Yup. Playing the wait and see game, at this rate if we start traveling again, is it even worth paying rent on an apartment I’ll never be in. If I end up staffed local then it’s a different story. At this point going to wait it out till the end of the year when deals restart, and go from there.
If you have a problem with it, get a fully remote job or an office outside NYC. Markets hot, do what’s best for you.
Leave most of your stuff back home. Stay in hotels Friday to Sunday.
EY shouldn't be forcing you into the EY office on Friday, so focus on where your client is. If you need to fly to them anyway, maybe you could just fly from where you are now, and skip moving back to nyc? If the client is local, youre kinda screwed. Look into getting a sublet or maybe airbnb for a few months, in both NYC but also Jersey City and Hoboken.
All my clients are NY, I’m in a financial sector that rarely has clients outside of NYC
