Many roles in finance require you to be in the office because of regulatory reasons, like recording of communications on trade related issues. Banks often don't allow the use of mobile phones on trading floors too, and working from home for certain functions is just not allowed.
- dnadler 7y agoI've had a much different experience at 2 very large asset managers, and one pretty large hedge fund. They all have strict security, but we can remote just fine. My phone has a locked-down VPN set up so I can communicate by phone, slack, and email, and I can remotely log in to my computer through Citrix. My previous companies have had similar set ups. I was involved in the portfolio management and research side of things, and this was true for all of my colleagues. Remote access to Bloomberg terminals works fine through these solutions.
