Am I nuts to consider driving 60 miles further for a 40% raise? It’s also a contract position with OT, which I don’t get now so I think I will end up making 50-60% more. Hybrid 3 days a week and right now I go in the office 5 days. So basically I drive 200 miles a week and now it would be approx 500.

That’s insane - the time, extra depreciation on your car, the time, the time.

If you’re an sr analyst I can’t imagine you’d be making that much more. Even though 40% is a significant percent what is the dollar value?

Like 45k before any OT.

How’s the traffic going to the new place? I think I could manage it if it’s no traffic, just a far drive, but if it’s 60 miles with traffic, not worth the trouble.

Twice as far basically. So 40ish min compared to 1.5 hours. It’s insane but I keep thinking it’s a contract AND I want to get out of my job because it’s toxic as hell so this is kind of a bridge.

Is it a fixed period contract? Like does it have a set end date? If so I say go for it knowing it’s temporary, and hopefully you can make a lot more money while figuring out your next move

And honestly I plan on interviewing and thinking of my next move. Not sure they will even want me when they hear how far away I live. The recruiter said she didn’t tell them lmao.

Maybe you can find a cheap Airbnb or short term rental where you stay 3 days there to save on commute?

If you find an inexpensive hotel that might work too. Rewards programs can be a nice discount for heavy users like you would be. I’ve considered this approach but didn’t end up taking the position that would necessitate this.

Would they negotiate giving you 3 days a week at home? Or are they completely set on 3 days in office? I think 3 days of that kind of commuting would be too much for me. 2 days I could handle. It's worth a shot to negotiate the extra day at home

Hey team! I've been thinking about what success would mean in terms of this platform and general inclusion in the team. These are some of my thoughts:

2. Increasing numbers of people engaging in each topic as they get more comfortable using the tool and airing their opinions
3. Some measure outside the app of team engagement in day to day interactions (changes in psychological safety)
