Would you take a $20k bump to work in person 5 days/week? (Remote Fridays in the summer) & there’s a chance the company will eventually go back to hybrid. you also get the flexibility on ur work hours so could do a 7am-3pm schedule to avoid traffic

I mean, pre-covid 5 days in person was the norm across most of white collar America... 🤷

Depends entirely on commute

Not really.

Bruh why would you do that. Take out the travel related expenses (food, gas, train) and you’re back to square 1

This is the consulting bowl and you’re discussing 40 hour work weeks and no travel? What company couod you possibly be talking about?

Haha I’m at EY and I’ve barely traveled the past 2 years, like 3-5 weeks of travel.

I’m literally turning down a $200k increase because of a 4-day in-office policy. (It’s also variable)

(I lived 80 mins from the office and LOVE working from home)

The question I was taught to ask was, "What does that work out per paycheck?" (After taxes that is)

Does it put you into a new tax bracket?

What is I going to cost in gas and wear and tear, to commute?

How much will the food costs be?

What are your opportunity costs? As in what are you going to miss out on losing that remote position? Time with family? Workout time? Attending your kids games?

Unless you live right around the corner, I would say no, it's not worth it; at least for what's important to me.

Considering the nearest office is 100's of miles away and all my customers are even further... why would going to an office make any sense by any rational measure?

Do you enjoy your work? There’s a lot I would do for a company and role that u really enjoyed. There’s also very little I would do for a company and role that I took just for the pay.

Depends on the commute, but I’d probably take anyways

What’s that like $12k net? I spend that on one vacation to Asia. Hell no not worth it to give up an entire year of remote freedom. 😂. Being remote is almost like early retirement.
