My group recently notified us that we have to start going into the office 4 days a week. How am I gonna use the gym by my apartment in the afternoon or fake like I'm doing work? Sitting next to hardo analyst/associates in office ruins the scheme. Lifestyle is great wfh but I'm afraid we're gonna be back to facetime culture soon. How has the back to office push been for you compared to pre-covid?

My good friend is bo and the whole gym clean food and wfh stuff then be done by 5 was his jam for a while on his first year after graduating. I think he splits his time now but I just had this convo with him and it seems like a lot of the bb back office will be going back in. Was much easier starting during 2020 but also having a close gym lol. Enjoy this nice balance while you can and hope you made it through the rough LIBOR change that some BO people were being obliterated by.
I'm front office, I was meaning back-to-office lmao
My bad dude lmfao. Then yeah really good luck with less balance as we all head back in. Currently split half and half myself and lifting during the non peak hours when I wfh but still available for messages haha.
I feel you my dude. I would flip something to an Associate and then go take a run or lift and now I have to do that late night gym.
Overall its just going to be a little rougher, but you get the hang of it again.
Relate to this heavy especially on the gym in the afternoon or evening in between turns and just having a more relaxed work space in general. Banks should realize how much happier and more efficient juniors will be if they have more flexibility. It's a no brainer.
