OP, i try and advise that people should do what makes them happy, however, I’m going to shift tones here. I think no, you can do far better by just sticking it out awhile longer! Once you leave consulting you should be set up real nicely, but this just doesn’t seem all that nice. However, those are just my thoughts. Good luck, OP!

Working from home is not as nice as it seems. I have been doing it for 1.5 years and leaving the boutique I’m at. I travel once a month. I’m an extrovert and this just doesn’t work

I couldn’t tap out at 105k. That same job 150k, absolutely. Of course location matters.

Been in consulting for 4 years now. I tend not on favor work life balance. Sure the pay is gonna suck but that work from home perk sure is amazing.....that's what's really tempting me. The pension helps too! No not cook county 😂😅🤣

$5000 is only $416 a month. Depending on your tax bracket, the difference may be negligible

After working from home for a long time, if you are not challenged you’ll lose productivity and things can get boring real fast

What type of work is it? You have skills and abilities / interest to do things on the side, or will you become a degenerate working at home everyday? Job security in that position look good?

Think a lot of people don’t realize that if you’re actually working 50-60 hour weeks, your true hourly pay loses a substantial amount of value. 5k annual differential is nothing compared to a 500 annual reduction in hours worked (50/wk to 40/wk). Even with things like bonus included. The. You can also have free time — if you’re a self starter, you can make additional money with that extra 10 hours a week. Or get healthy, spend time with your kids / wife, etc. save yourself some healthcare costs and enjoy life.

From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.
