You have the option to go from 95.000 to 165.000 but go from remote to 4x/week onsite. 45 min drive. Is it worth it? This is a preliminary conversation so didn’t go in depth but there will be stock options involved.

No-brainer. A salary jump like that is priceless. Max out all your savings options and create boundary to ensure you aren’t over-working, which many folks are prone to do when working from home.

Yes, completely devoid of using your brain to evaluate the situation here FI1 and M1- way to highlight this.

God such parrots of propaganda- capitalism is a lie and the cycle will keep you broken. Ideas like this “more is more” is how we are destroying humanity and the planet.

I turned down 40k more than I'm making now because I wanted to avoid a commute. That's how much I revered some of the WFH options

Would depend on a few things.
Do you have Young kids who you get to spend more time with wfh. Emergencies etc.
Do you already have a car
Spending an extra working day travelling every week.

I drove an hour for a pay cut on the short term and the move has returned 5 x. Fail fast. Stop potting up opposition to success. Grind it out and it it doesn’t work out. Move on

Worth it

Ooof that is such a tough call but that is a very large salary increase. I guess it all depends on what is most important to you. For me, I value work life balance so I wouldn't want to have to drive 45 minutes one way or go into the office four days a week.

I interviewed with a company last week and the interviewer said he would submit my notes to the hiring manager and I would hear back this Monday from HR on next steps/if they want to move forward. I didn’t hear back yesterday so I emailed HR and she said she wasn’t part of the hiring decision so would reach out to the initial interviewer for his feedback. I haven’t heard from her and it’s been 24 hours - starting to get worried. What should I do? Does this mean they’re not interested?

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?

T.I.A.
