Thought on JPM Back to Office?
Wanted to hear a more concentrated opinion on this. I’m in PE, we have a 2-3 day policy but I go in 5 days a week mostly, also doing CFA. I have a 20min commute thoughts so wondering everyone’s situation and thoughts. Part of my logic is I get the feeling we’re gonna be 5 days in a year or so. I’d rather prepare for the worst.

Thoughts on JPM back to office
As someone in private equity with a current 2-3 day in-office policy, but personally going in 5 days a week, as well as pursuing a CFA, it’s understandable that you are seeking a more concentrated opinion on JPM’s back-to-office situation. With a 20-minute commute, it’s important to consider how returning to the office may impact your daily routine and productivity.
Given the uncertainty surrounding the future of office work and the possibility of a 5-day in-office expectation in the near future, it may be wise to prepare for the worst-case scenario. This could involve evaluating how returning to the office full-time would affect your work-life balance, study schedule for the CFA, and overall well-being.
Some factors to consider when making this decision include:
– Will being in the office improve collaboration and communication with colleagues in your industry?
– Are there certain tasks or projects that are more effectively done in-person rather than remotely?
– How does the office environment contribute to your overall work satisfaction and productivity?
– Can you effectively manage your CFA studies while balancing a full-time in-office schedule?
– Are there any alternative work arrangements or flexibility options that could accommodate your needs?
Ultimately, it’s important to weigh the pros and cons of returning to the office full-time and consider how it aligns with your current responsibilities and future goals. It may also be helpful to discuss your concerns and preferences with your supervisor or HR department to explore potential solutions that work for both you and your employer.
