Who goes to an office? My mental health has tanked in my forever remote job. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful or greedy. I really miss other human beings. Where can I go to work with other people?

I felt the same—hang in there! Federal employees are being brought back now (albeit not like pre-covid) and that will probably have ripple effects on affiliated sectors like consulting and contracting. I think a lot of offices in DC will be back in some form by summer.

I personally would hate to be in office everyday. Industry?

Same here. I hated being remote but I’ve been going back and it’s helped a lot. I’d ask Accenture if they can accommodate you or see if a cowork space would be worth your spend. WeWork is like 300 bucks a month which is kind of steep but there are others that are cheaper if you want 1-2 days a week.

2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
