Would you prefer a 5 days in office strict 9-5/6 or a fully remote, post Big-4 accounting consultancy (think CFGI, Siegfried)?

If commute is about 30 minutes, I prefer to be in office. Remote work is blessing in disguise for consultants or auditors. You end up working more than in office

Maybe you meant curse instead of blessing. 🫠

Definitely 5 days in office. Being on the road like Siegfried is way worse.

It would be fully remote

Depends on commute. If less than 20 minutes I could do in office
