You may have seen the discourse on TikTok but bringing it here. Would you rather have a fully in-office job with $240K salary or fully remote for $120K (assuming the job functions + benefits are identical).

While I love remote work, I’d have to go $240K in office.

$240k in office. I's not even a question. I love working remotely myself, but I'm not passing on 2x salary for it.

Right? I’m so shocked by how many people are saying remote

240...

I haven't seen that on TT yet but that is such a really great question. I think I would still want to be remote. I hate having to go into the office, even if I am making more money.

That’s super fair! What about remote work do you like best?

There's is a lot of nuance with questions like these. But for 2X salary (assuming all else the same, benefits/time off etc.) then yeah I'd rather! Unless it's over an hour commute. Plus most people are usually less productive in-office because there are more distractions, so if that's what they really want to pay 2X for - by all means.

If I lived in a city where the 120 would go further I’d take that. But city living around the country is too pricey to pass up 240

I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.
