Great Start; What's Next?

Pros

FIrst project was well managed, great team (one local colleague, everyone else was remote), delivered on-time. Good pay, good benefits, good work-life balance, offered a reasonable hybrid schedule (3 days/week remote, 2 days/week on-site), and corporate is committed to ethics.

Cons

Five months into the first project corporate announced a massive re-organization and mandatory 3-day/week Return To Office. Four months after the project I was hired to work on finished I'm still waiting for a new project.
