As things start returning to "normal", what are your banks saying about work schedules once offices open? 5 days a week? 3 days a week? More flexible?
Would be great to hear what the situation generally is (particularly for IBD analysts / associates in NYC / SF)

I believe my bank is doing a hybrid model once summer ends, so sometime in late September/October. Honestly seems like the ideal way to go about it—camaraderie of late nights in the bullpen + face time with the group countered by working on your own time at home.
What bank are you at? you're posting anom.
Laz - Tuesday to Thursday in office, Mondays and Fridays at home (all U.S. offices)
Thanks
You hiring? Ha. I hope other banks follow suit.
Ha. Some teams are hiring. Also announced 1 month per year work-from-anywhere-in-the-world...
Also interested to know how each bank is doing on this

Really hoping its hybrid. Would prefer fully virtual than fully in person. IDGAF about camaraderie, I got enough friends outside my workplace, and most people there are hella nerdy
bump - would love to gather more feedback

For those folks who felt that last year work-life balance was thrown out of the window due to WFH, has it become better now that many banks have called folks back in? Curious to know how it is going. Are you able to take breaks more often (dinner, gym, etc.) and switch yourself off?
