Is WFH going to continue? Should I lease an apartment?
So with all the new COVID developments (regardless of what anyone thinks about them) will WFH continue through the end of the year? I'm a first year analyst, but my cheap ass would rather not get stuck in a lease if WFH is going to just continue.
Much rather WFH at my parents place than be trapped in a 400sqft apartment and shell out nearly $2k a month. Perhaps there's a hybrid model coming in some places. What do you all think? Should I just bite the bullet here and rent anyway?
Most groups are very focused on getting to the office so you should be in commuting distance. Also social life will suck at your parents house
Parents are never home or around, so socially wouldn't be huge issue, but yeah if banks truly are focused on bringing us first years in rather than just keep pushing things out then I'm more than fine to go ahead and rent.
I did wfh for my first year and regret it. You think it won’t be hard socially but it is and you should be in the city. Can find a decent place and get a roommate
I’m in the exact same boat. They keep chirping about this whole hybrid thing without telling me what is and now there are positive cases and bee mask rules. If I’m wfh 4 days a week I’ll need a lot more space and it might be worth living farther away then in a shoebox in midtown without room for a big desk for 2 monitors, my keyboard, and laptop.
Everything is SO expensive right now and I’d rather not be trapped in an expensive yearlong lease if the return to office plan gets delayed until 2022.
I’ll probably bite the bullet in a couple of weeks.
Exactly my point spot on. I have no problem with going ahead and biting the bullet with these outrageous rents, I just want to know for sure that we will at least hybrid use the office. Even just two days a week is fine and I'd probably greatly prefer a hybrid model of some kind, but I do not want to be trapped all day 7 days a week in my shitty studio that I'm losing $20k+ annually post-tax on. That's big money for a first analyst.
most banks that haven’t already returned are targeting sept. 13 and the only i know that’s shifted from that is wells fargo. fact that they’re pushing a couple weeks instead of to jan like tech companies signals banks want ppl back stat.
