Worth Staying in NY if Still Working from Home(POST COVID-19)?
My BB is hinting torwards some 'essential' workers(traders, some sales people) coming back to the office once we reach phase 2 or 3 with reopening back up NYC. My team does not need to be (directly anyway) tied to the banks infrastructure like other groups so therefore we will be at the tail end of returning to work if needed. Boss indicated looking at 4Q or even 1Q 2021. Even then it won't be mandatory... it is a option(think this is political reasons vs what the bank actually wants).
Considering most banks are in a similar position does it really make sense to stay in NY for the rest of your analyst program? I mean the lure of NY(happy hours with teams & friends, trying new resturant spots, siteseeing,ease of travel by subway, etc) will probably operate at fraction of what it used to not mention the social distancing rules will probably stay in place for a while both at work and outside of work. Really wondering if the cost justfiy the means given current set of circumstances.
Curious to everone else's thoughts.
Up to you if you want to save the money, but you can already go hang out with friends and go on hikes with them in the current state of the world. Really comes down to your risk tolerance - in my social network there are definitely a number of house parties every month that make it more appealing / less isolating to stay in the city vs heading home (I'm from the Midwest and wouldn't have as many friends back home). If you're feeling too isolated or don't want to take the risk, makes sense to go home, save on rent, then come back when your firm tells you it's time.
