I have heard from many people that they intend to leave if Fido insists on returning everyone to the office. Okay, leaving is always an option, but question is where to go next? I have many complaints, but I still wouldn't say there are many more flexible places in the industry than here.

Doing what kind of job?
Depending on your age and where you are in career you could go to a smaller financial firm. I left and got a whopping raise, better insurance (free) and more PTO.
remote jobs are dwindling to hybrid now. Getting hard and harder for remote only. THe pool of candidates is very high for the dwindling number of remote jobs. You might as well just go in one week a month, that's a deal compared to the two or three times a week other employers want you in the office.
It depends on your niche. Is quite easy to get a remote job depending on the role. Depends well what you look for you life and carrer. My last company send me emails every month.
Same pay and total remote. But the job su-ks, bad tooling, hierarchical sh-t corporation. I loved the money but cant handle the type of job.
There are plenty of finance companies that offer full remote and did before the pandemic. Plus other types of companies.
Fidelity should at least improve upon what they were doing before. Did we learn nothing? A lot of departments and teams were not in much before the pandemic and they are going backwards.
I likely wouldn't stay in finance, specifically. My skill set has broad demand so I think I could land a remote friendly job with ease.
If your skill set is more niche, maybe you can quit and start a consultancy... lots of VBO-ers did that and wound up doing the same work but on their own terms and for twice the price!
