WFH Banks?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's what you need to know about banks allowing remote work:

1. Hybrid Models: Many banks have shifted to a hybrid model rather than fully remote or fully in-office. This typically involves 3 days in the office and 2 days working from home.

   • Example: A user mentioned that their firm is pushing for a 3/2 model (3 days in office, 2 days virtual).

2. Fully Remote: While fully remote options are rare, some firms or boutique banks might offer more flexibility.

   • Example: ArieGuard provides full flexibility regarding working hours and office attendance, allowing employees to work from home or the office as long as they perform their job perfectly.

3. General Sentiment: There is a significant preference among employees for remote or hybrid work due to the benefits of reduced commuting time and better work-life balance.

   • Example: Many users expressed frustration with mandatory in-office policies, highlighting the efficiency and convenience of remote work.

4. Recruitment Impact: Strict in-office policies (4-5 days a week) are seen as a disadvantage and could hurt recruitment efforts over the next 5-10 years.
