I would personally pick the job I like. Life is too short to be doing things I don’t like when I have the opportunity to choose between the two.

3 days a week really is fine. I was dreading going back in when I was full time wfh but now we need to go back in 3 days a week and you get used to it literally after a couple of days. That plus better pay and you enjoy the job makes the answer quite clear

30min is nothing. Also negated by better healthy lifestyle I guess.

You should look for job security and wlb.

Agree with most. Wells Fargo. For three days a week in office, $10k more, and job you want more. Plus flexibility could change in the long term either way. So unless you need flexibility for work from anywhere or plan on moving soon Wells Fargo seems like the best bet.

I worked at WF. It’s literally the worst company to work for. Save yourself the stress.

I also worked at WF, briefly. It was before all the scandals but it was really clear that there were major ethical problems and other cultural issues. I know the OP has made up their mind but I was shocked at how terrible WF was and left sooner than I could have ever imagined leaving any position.

All banks do have consent orders, MRAs, etc. No one at any other bank has ever advised me to lie and blame people for things they weren’t responsible for.

I have a feeling audit at WF won’t be easy with all their issues. What is your current role?

To me, depends on what your obligations and time commitments are outside of work

Life is to short to do something 40+ hours a week that you hate, which makes me wonder why you applied for a job you dislike? Citi has a million different roles, maybe try for another one. Also, WFH elevates the work/home balance & that 10K more a year isn't enough for 3 hours of travel time a week IMO.

Thank you all, it seriously helps

Pick the job you like. Plus more $. Sounds like the only thing the other job has going for it is that it’s WFH. If that’s most important to you, maybe go for door #3 and keep looking for a job you like that’s also WFH
