Senior Product Manager. Current job is govt contracting and secure but is now RTO. $210k in the office M-F , 45min commute one way. Not super terrible commute.

Full remote is private software co and $300k but full remote which I would love. Who knows if the company will survive. But it is full remote.

$90k pay difference in metro DC will go a long way... $300k in DC is very livable. It means my wife can stay home with the kids (age 3 and 5).

What would you do?

Give me the money and the remote flexibility. Commuting is miserable and there's no such thing as true job security these days IMO. I've got two kids around the same age as yours and have passed on better pay to stay fully remote and spend more time with them. The significant increase in TC is icing on the cake.

Yeah thats where my head is at too. Nothing is guaranteed in the employment world these days so having more time with kids and more money seems more and more like a no brainer.

I would still consider what is your exit opportunity with the software job. If it’s niche and less transferable than your current role it should be factored in

Good point. Thank you sharing this point of view!

That’s a great offer! Can you share more about how you got there?

Sorry..,not understanding your question “how you got there?”
