Was offered a huge raise to go to a company that is 3 days a week in office and probably busier than my current job with not as good of benefits (still great).

Current job is very chill, and fully remote.. they countered to match the new salary and total comp.

I chose the new job, hoping the opportunities will push me further along in my career. Also need some discipline of going into the office vs sitting in my sweatpants all day at home.

hopefully I made the right decision 🙏

Hahaha I was a out to ask the same!

You went with your gut and therefore you made the right move. Sounds like no family, didn’t want to keep being mediocre and wanted to get in front of people. If I was in your situation, I would have done exactly the same. Go out, grab a few drinks, mingle, live!!

I was laid off from a fully remote position making 120k in July, and the new job I started in September is 125k with three days a week in the office and it was the best thing to have happened to me honestly!!! I do not mind the commute (35 mins drive for me) and being around new people, being social ina new environment and not at home has made a noticeable difference in my happiness. I think you’ll feel very similarly! Congratulations!!!🥳

You never know until you try. I probably would have done the same thing to be honest with you. Hopefully it all works out! Best of luck to you in the new role.

I would choose the same option as well. I do love working from home because I get to spend more time with my family. But I have to admit that it made me want to always choose comfort more than anything which I think won't benefit me in the long run.

Being in person will change your life. You will likely get out of bed faster, have friends at work, get more work done, have questions for coworkers answered super fast, great choice. Also it’s not like it’s five days a week.

Hi all, I have a question regarding retirement accounts. I am not sure if I should choose a Roth or 401k (company has 4+2% match). Currently 23, base salary is ~100k and investments have brought 45k this year which has me teetering between a 22-24% tax bracket. Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
