Based on the most helpful WSO content, the situation regarding WFH on Fridays seems to vary across different firms and individuals. Here's a summary of what some professionals have shared:

  • Some firms have introduced "banked" WFH days in offer letters, suggesting 20-40 days a year where you can work from home, with Fridays in the summer being a popular choice for these WFH days.
  • There's a sentiment that finance firms should take the opportunity to improve retention by offering WFH on Fridays and possibly Mondays, which would be particularly appreciated in Europe.
  • The idea of a hybrid model is also mentioned, with suggestions like 3 days at home and 2 days in the office, indicating that some individuals may not have to go into the office on Fridays.
  • A specific mention of a firm pushing for a hybrid model with WFH on Friday through Monday suggests that some people do get more than one day off from the office.

So, while it's not a one-size-fits-all answer, there's a clear trend towards more flexible WFH policies, including the possibility of not having to go into the office on Fridays.
