Most people who like remote working would rather do that than spend the extra 10% commuting. I personally don't like 100% remote work, but wouldn't be interested in 5 days a week in the office requirement regardless of pay. Hybrid is best.
What's the long-term impact of being 100% remote? Sad to say, but remote workers are often the first to be let go in a restructuring or downturn. Out of sight, out of mind is real. Good luck in your new role, whichever you end up in.
I would for sure take the remote role. The time adds up commuting and well worth a 10% difference in salary
Many people would probably take the remote role instead of having to drive into an office 5 days per week.
The extra 10% may not cover the gas and maintenance of your vehicle going into the office 5 days per week.
That’s a no brainer. Take the remote gig.
Do it! You will spend that 10% increase on fuel and wear and tear on your vehicle.
1 hour commuting per day x 5 days per week x 49 weeks per year = 245 hours per year. Also, clothing costs for in person, additional gas and wear and tear on the car. Could you use Uber vs owning a car if you did remote? I work remote due to all the above items. Your incremental earnings are at the highest tax brackets as well.
Why is that crazy? Choosing remote work over a 10% pay bump isn’t some wild or unreasonable stance. Let’s stop acting like valuing flexibility and well-being is unrealistic or "crazy" as you put it.
I think you’ll probably come out ahead on the remote role!
Only you can make that decision. If you don't mind the smaller paycheck then go for it. No one can make a personal judgement about someone else. You would know if you made the right choice by how you handle that smaller check.
I hate borrowing money and using credit unless I can get away with no interest. I like spending time with family, too but like treating them to nice things.
Only you can see how it fits for you.
No!
No. Considering you would most likely lose that 10% annually on fuel and vehicle maintenance, as well as your time commuting.
