Would you take a pay cut from $205K base to $180K base to go fully remote + can live wherever (from 2 days in office in NYC).

Yes if you can literally live wherever

Absolutely. Can drastically reduce cost of living by moving out of NYC to make that 180k go much further on a day to day basis.

MD2 - are you saying it's important because the person is expensive and could be looked at as opportunity to be cut?

Yes if it enables a new side hustle.

If you have to be full time in NYC I would have to have a terrific opportunity to work there but, if you could commute to work via train two days or less per week this can work.

Remote data review, lims or oncite facility audits for the remainder of a full time schedule would be fine if the opportunity is a good fit and travel expenses are fully covered in CONUS.
Travel abroad would require passport and visa arrangements which I am interested in but will take some time to arrange.

I lateraled into a niche practice group in Sept 2021. I also have a 1 year old and have been mostly remote since I started - but have been keeping busy tracking towards 2400-2500 hours. That said getting to know people only remote has been kind of awkward at times (email only can be tough to decipher) although as a working mom the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Yesterday my main partner asked me to come in Thursday bc he will be there and set a time to meet. Is this good/bad?? kind of nervous!
