McKinsey & Company I am joining the McKinsey & Company Boston office in late July and searching for housing in the meantime. If I could get some insight on the ratio of days in the office vs work from home that would be super helpful!
If I need to come into the office regularly I will try to find a place close by.

I was remote in another state but working for a company based in NYC. New York state and city both came after me to collect a full year of taxes even though I was only in new york a few days.
Expect them to send you a letter requesting proof that you didnt set foot in NY while working. Fortunately they backed down in my case after I sent that proof, but theyre much more aggressive than other states given their dire financial position.
This is different across every single state, and some states have reciprocity agreements with neighboring states.
In IL If you work more than 30 days you have to pay state taxes. NY its 14 days. So if you ever have to work from the NY office it could be a factor. Otherwise you’d just be paying Illinois taxes.

I forgot to add- taxes are based on the amount of time you’re in those states. Say you spent two months working in NY and the rest of the year in Chicago. You’d pay NY income tax on two months’ salary, and IL income tax on the other 10 months.
You pay taxes only where you live.
BBDO - sounds like you can get out of that with proof you didn’t physically work in NY. I don’t get that at all, NY needs to chill
I live in Washington and work for a company based in California.
I only pay WA state taxes, so I imagine you’d only be in the hook for Illinois taxes. If they have other out of state people on the team, they’ve probably had others ask as well. Maybe ask the recruiter or hiring manager for peace of mind.
I work in NY and live in NJ. The company withdraws NY taxes. I file state returns in both NY and NJ and what I pay in NY is credited against what owe NJ.
This was the same for me when living in Indiana, but working in Illinois. The rules are different state by state.

Talk to a tax person because it’s important to know this before going into salary negotiations. They’ll be tempted to pay you a cheaper salary but if you’re still paying nyc taxes, Don’t let them
I think you will be considered a part time resident in NY. You will have to file tax returns in NY & IL.
Move to Nashville and just pay Fed tax.
I’m doing this with company in GA, only pay state tax in IL
Based of your primary residence, thats what your W2 will say
Thank you all for your advice.
