That’s not a bad commute. There’s a lot you can do with extra $80k.

I love this response. Time v money.

Im going back into the office full.time and I kniw im going to miss my lunchtime playing with my dog's

Work hours, WLB, team, benefits are also part of the equation. Don’t forget those. But for 20-30 minutes that isn’t bad.

No way!! Time is way more valuable than money and it seems like you make enough already. If you can land a pay bump in a fully-onsite role, you can probably do the same in a hybrid or still remote role.

I just answered based on the info given. Obviously there is a lot not mentioned like which position they are more interested in, which gives better opportunities, benefits, hours, etc.

Can I have that 300k offer if you don’t take it 😂

Yeah I might take the 80k, not a bad commute at all.

If money was the only factor, you would be insane to turn the opportunity down for a few stops on the subway. As someone that commuted from burbs to the city for decades (because it was the right thing to do for my kids), I would jump at such a short commute.

However, this thread makes me think you really don't want the other job. If you really don't like the new role, no amount of money will change that.

Don't do it! Being miserable and losing your already limited free time isn't worth it.

Because the commute is so reasonable I would definitely consider the 300k offer. Which place do you like more? Which has better growth potential?

Does your subway stop flood? Because you could not get me in the office in rainy days.

And do you have enough room in your apartment to wfh every day and not lose it?

Two things I would consider in nyc if that’s your location

I wouldn’t. You are happy and you make a good living. You have no idea what you may walk into and you already know the WLB will be worse. You could also have a monster for a boss and crummy coworkers and be miserable.
