Have you ever worked in office before? I graduated right before the pandemic so I only worked in office for maybe 5 months before going virtual for 5 YEARS. I don’t know that I could do 4 days in office suddenly… or ever. But also consider the cost of that extra day versus the $10k extra. For me going in one additional day a year will cost me about $1500 more out of pocket on parking and gas. That’s definitely way less than what I’d net on that $10k ($6.3k ish?). Plus think about the gas for that extra day, food/ coffee you may need to buy at the office, the need to make sure you have 4 clean professional outfits weekly as opposed to 3, etc. Either way, I’d pick job 2 but maybe that’s just me and my love of wfh.
You’re also going to have non-monetary costs like how tired you are. Unless the promotion path is much faster, I’d go with the 3 days WFH for that difference.
Yes! got staffed on a client before that was 5 days in office, hated it and the nature of the work so that’s what prompted me to leave 🤣 but wondering if I like the work I’m doing if I would mind 4 days in person
Can you negotiate at job 1?
Negotiate with job 2 and say you got a counter offer of $130K and see if they budge. Then make your decision then
For $10K at those salary rates you are looking at 22% federal, 4.95% IL, 15.3% for social security taxes, and 2 extra unpaid hours of life energy per week (1 hour to get outside ready to leave the house and 1 hour commuting). So after taxes you are going to bring in $5,800 more. Is it worth $58/hour to get on the train? That assumes all other hours required between the two jobs are the same. Personally I would maximize my earnings and put that into my Roth IRA for the future. Live off $110.
