Am I being unreasonable? I am ready to leave my current company but I am being very picky in my search. I know the job market is insane but I am declining any offer is it’s not a $90K+ base and at least 3 WFH days

Don't think it's unreasonable, but might take a little longer to find one of those jobs. Those companies usually will have lower turnovers so less spots open up for new hires coming in. Both me and spouses company fit this criteria, and the churn has been low.

That makes sense I feel like with that criteria the culture is generally overall better too haha If you don’t mind me asking what company do you and your spouse work at? I am trying to find somewhere I can work for 10+ so I am also trying to align with a company that has a product I believe in or at least similar values

Wait for what you want. That’s what I did. I entertained many recruiters but none were offering what I wanted. So, I stayed put. I also focused on getting really clear about the priorities and details about what was important in my next role. Worked on optimizing my LinkedIn profile to align with those goals (chat gpt can help). And my dream role/company found me. I’m not making quite as much as I was before in base salary but with bonus and stocks making about 20% more overall. The drop in salary was worth it to me for the bump in stocks and the awesome role. Get clear about what you want and don’t settle (unless you are in an unsafe situation financially, emotionally, etc.). You won’t be happy if you do. What happens if you settle and that blocks the thing you wanted from finding you?

You got this! Sometimes is scary to wait bc it seems like the better thing you want isn’t coming or isn’t possible. But, at least for me, some of that fear stemmed from the belief that I didn’t deserve it when I was honest with myself. The right thing will find you at the right time. Have faith in yourself and go for what you want and deserve.

Are you currently WFH?

Hybrid 2-3 days depending on the week. I was 5 days WFH and that’s what I truly desire but seems to be being phased out :/
