More money or more flexibility, which onewould you go for? I’m choosing between a $15K raise with full RTO and a flat salary with hybrid and sane hours. On paper the money wins, but burnout is real. I genuinely can’t decide, what would you choose?

It's all dependent on life circumstances. If you're young and building savings, take the money. If you're burned out or have life obligations that need flexibility, stick to remote.

Flexibility, if it still comes with a mostly decent paycheck. I’d rather sign up for something I can handle long term.

Everybody is different here. As another commenter noted, it might depend on your stage in life and also just personal preference. Personally, I actually like being around people and work from home is not that appealing to me so I’d take the money. Others say working from home is the most important thing to them. I would also factor in things like commute, etc of course.
