I recently went through something similar and I used chatGPT to help me determine if it was the right move. I asked it to calculate the average cost of commuting (gas, tolls, car maintenance, coffee, lunches, etc) over a year to see how much of my salary was going towards commuting. I gave it my current salary, expected salary. I compared benefits. And got a complete picture of the differences. I ultimately chose to leave. I’ve been at my remote job for a month and it was definitely the right move for me. If you can afford it and it makes sense for your lifestyle/career aspirations, I would seriously consider it. I do not, for even one minute, miss being in the office.

Don't forget that you might be dropped to a lower tax bracket.

Yes, absolutely!

No, there is absolutely no need to visit office when working with geographically dislocated teammates. If the company insists on a cut, then this is a goodbye.

Will I take a pay cut so that my company doesn't have the expense of a swanky office in the middle of the CBD, power, desk, chair, double monitor station, not to mention the meeting spaces, the bar (yes, a bar) and the fridges, dishwasher et et et.

I too run a nationally and globaly dispersed team, Not a chance in hell.

No cuts. I’m expected to deliver the same value whether I’m in or out of the office. That’s what matters at the end.

Everyone here is focusing on “why should I let my firm make profit” however I am looking for answers where “how it will make your life better”

30% would be too much of a hit. 10% maybe, if the "remoteness" made up for the salary drop, i.e., fuel expenses, w & t on vehicle, your time, COL, etc.

If I was already in the office 5 days per week, then that would be normal, so I wouldn't care about working from home enough to take a pay cut.

Lol no

How do you approach a firm recruiting you when you weren't looking to move? It would be similar work, but I could negotiate a significant salary boost which would help my family reach financial goals faster. I like everything about my firm, but the pay is on the low side. I've never interviewed when I wasn't eager to leave my current job, and I'm uncertain how to discuss that with the recruiter & interviewer. I want to leverage it, but don't want to sound greedy.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
