Hi, I need suggestion. I’m an IT Support Specialist working at a school. I’m not at all happy and liking the job as it involves a lot of non IT things and unorganized workplace. I’m speaking with Cognizant recruiters and they’re offering 40k to 42k with 45k being max with WFH for now. Should I save time traveling to job 3.5 hours a day and spending 3000$ on bus fare a year and do wfh for 42k?

That's a fair offer for me. How much are you making as an IT support? I suggest you go for the max offer.

I’m making 50k right now.

Seems like a promising offer. I'd choose the job wiith a better work environment. try to get the max offer and you're all set.

Yes thank you

Wow, you travel to work for 3.5 hour a day?!? For me not having to do that every day alone would make a pay cut worth it. Have you asked if they could match what you are currently making? 5k more than their top offer is not too much of a stretch if they really want you.

I did ask for a match, but they said max they can do it 45k.

You'll definitely be saving so much time and money driving. If they could do $45k, you'd almost be breaking even and you'd be getting some great extra benefits out of the deal, too! Even just the work from home should be work a couple thousand dollars to you! :) If you aren't happy where you are, then take the job with Cognizant and don't look back.

Yes, thinking to prioritize happiness and meaningful work over 5k. Thank you!
