Will I be expected to go into the office this fall/winter? I will be starting at the end of September with EY in NJ, and we haven't been told much besides onboarding will be online. Internship was completely virtual last summer but they sent an email saying the offices would start opening September 7th. No idea what to expect in terms of return to office/ WFH policy

I have a feeling as it starts getting colder the delta variant will cause a large increase in the amount of daily cases, not necessarily hospitalizations but I think if this happens back to office might get delayed. Just my theory...:

most likely it will be a hybrid model of you having some days at the client site/pwc office & your home

You’ll be in office/clients sites some days, and home some days. Specifics depend on service line, team, and clients (for example, some clients want us back on site and some don’t).

Hoboken office is already fully functioning. NYC office has a soft opening next week. I would say that by fall people would be expected to be back to the office with some flexibility (1-2 days a week WFH). But of course everything depends on the teams you will be working with.

If you have remained in contact with your counselor or intern leader - I would reach out to them to get more insight into your service line specifics. But yes will be hybrid approach.

I did my internship with the Jacksonville, Florida office then requested a transfer, so I don't know anyone in the office. But thank you for the suggestion!

You should ask your team

I wish I knew who they were so I could but communication has been extremely limited
