[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live a 10 minute drive from our jobs in downtown DC. It makes going into the office pretty easy.

If you want an executive level job, you need to be a regular face in the office. I’ve gotten two huge boosts in my career over the last two years due to willingness to be in-person. I’m now the deputy to a C-suite level exec, my comp went up 50% since last September.

Leadership is in-person. If you’re in the office, people see you and you get included in the big decisions.

My friend works in Big Law in nyc and his firm is starting layoffs. They are letting go of people based on a combination of lack of revenue generation AND lack of in-person work. All else equal, the person who only comes in once per pay period is getting laid off first. [/quote]

You seem like you’re trying to justify your decision to live 10 minutes from downtown DC.

If law firms are laying off high revenue lawyers simply because they aren’t in the office then it sounds like your friend needs to leave that law firm. [/quote]
