Is RTO a dealbreaker?
I know banks are mandating people to RTO but is this a dealbreaker for any? For me, I enjoy wfh and the idea of going back into office makes me want to quit.
I understand the positives that comes with being in the office but just wanted to ask the forum to see if anyone feels the same.

Same boat as you. Analyst 1 at BB but definitely prefer WFH compared to in-person.
At my firm, once people were asked to return to office, they started dropping like flies
Definitely a dealbreaker for me. If you think otherwise, you likely have a miserable personal home/family life and just want company. Be honest.
Damn. I have an internship coming up in the summer and I'm actually excited to go in person. I like going to school in person too. Waking up early, getting dressed, making sure I look sexy asf before I leave the house, taking the subway. I can't wait to go in person and be downtown.
3-5 weeks into your internship, the dress shirts you have will stink like shit because you worn them 100 times and sweated in them because of the blazing summer heat in the subway platforms.
You will have no time to explore downtown and wish you can be at home with your boxers with the opportunity to take a walk outside for half an hour or so to actually explore downtown.
Dealbreaker. WFH is so much better
You quitting?
For my last role, the firm would essentially set soft deadlines for people to come back to the office before basically being more forward about having people come back last summer. Even after that, maybe ~10% (if that) even went back.
I know different industries have variations on such figures, but RTO appears to be a bigger dealbreaker than a lot of firms anticipated hence the slow rollout for doing so for a lot of companies.
If I were mandated to go to the office I would definitely quit.
I know an EB that is requiring people return to the office and junior peeps are quitting left and right
Are they lateraling or just quitting without jobs?
Are specific firms requiring return to office?Does it matter your title?
Group dependent - JPM requires you to be in minimum 50% (backed off with omicron, but should restart soon). GS is pretty heavy on RTO, was pushing people to be back 5 days a week last fall, but some groups are chiller
Yes, will likely just ask my next employer to hire me early if they force RTO
Don't think any BB/EB will allow permanent WFH for the long term at the moment - but hybrid is pretty popular and any bank asking for 5 days back or forcing people in are going to lose juniors
For everyone saying it is a dealbreaker what positions have you all lateraled to? Pretty much every FO role I've seen is at minimum hybrid save for a few random shops.
Am actively looking due to RTO. I’ve been unhappy at my gig for a while now but could have made it work with wfh
Are you still in ER? What are you looking to switch to?
Yeah still in ER. Currently exploring crypto at the moment
