I’ve been remote for 5 years but am being recruited by some really promising in-person positions brand side (currently I am at an agency). They would require I give up my fully remote position for 4 days in office and 1 day remote a week. My commute would be about 45 mins each way. If you were fully remote and are now in office, how was it? Is it worth the 20% pay in increase and going brand side to give up my WFH? I see pros, like I really miss making new friends at the office.

I’d look at the long game, is this opportunity something that will propel your career or goals forward? Would it be worth it to do for a year or two and then leverage into an even better opportunity?

Curious what amount of a pay increase would be worth switching to everyone?

Never. Nope. No.

Think long term not right now. The experience you can get is invaluable. Don't think about the commute or the bad food. Think abput your future. You have lots of years ahead.

I would ask more than 20% raise to be honest if it's not wfh. I think already a 10% would take my time, travelling expenses. I personally like to go to the office sometimes but the commute price and timelines are killing me therefore would def ask for more.

If you really want to go brand-side then make the leap but make sure to vet these recruiters- are they corporate or third party? Because I haven’t had any internal recruiters contact me for opportunities in the 20 months since my layoff and I have 22 years brand side experience.
