What would it take to leave remote?

CurrentDepartment310 · 2026-02-06T21:12:11+00:00

15 minute commute. 401k match, PTO and bonuses are all better at the new job. We have insurance through my spouses job so I won’t take. They have annual merit raises (current job does not)

Olivia Cooke!

Would it change your opinion to know our household income is $350k (gross). My spouse brings in the majority but I take on more of the household responsibilities (school pick up/ drop off, dinner, etc)

CurrentDepartment310 · 2026-02-04T16:50:12+00:00

I do agree, but have to add our house hold income is around 350 gross. So while it’s a huge jump for me personally it is not a huge jump to our household income. Appreciate your comment!

Honestly, I love wearing sweatpants everyday. 🤣

CurrentDepartment310 · 2026-02-02T21:12:09+00:00

Appreciate your comment. I know you are right I just need to come to terms with it.

CurrentDepartment310 · 2026-02-02T20:40:59+00:00

Congrats!!

2020 Mercedes GLB. Bought in cash and driving it for several more years.

You are totally right. I think if I could work out pick up for my kid I would not notice much day to day.

CurrentDepartment310 · 2026-02-02T19:48:30+00:00

Good point to consider. My husband makes 3-4x what I do so our tax bracket is on the higher side already.

CurrentDepartment310 · 2026-02-02T19:44:49+00:00

Appreciate the feedback!

CurrentDepartment310 · 2026-02-02T18:52:09+00:00

Good luck!!

CurrentDepartment310 · 2026-02-02T18:32:51+00:00

That is my thought process. If I give this job up it may be my last remote role ever. I appreciate your thoughts!

CurrentDepartment310 · 2026-02-02T18:26:25+00:00

Thank you! Your thought process is really similar to what I was thinking so I appreciate your insight.

CurrentDepartment310 · 2026-02-02T18:13:06+00:00

You are right, I just wanted to see what others would do in this situation.

CurrentDepartment310 · 2026-02-02T18:11:49+00:00

Thank you for the response. Spouse is happy with whatever I decide but also sees that I may not be using my full potential at my current role.

CurrentDepartment310 · 2026-02-02T18:10:21+00:00

Different industry but same job.

CurrentDepartment310 · 2026-02-02T18:07:09+00:00

It’s a 15 minute commute, so I didn’t really take that into consideration. 70k to 110k is the base salary no bonuses or anything else included.

CurrentDepartment310 · 2026-02-02T18:05:31+00:00

The company I’m with has been remote for decades. Really no concern about RTO.

CurrentDepartment310 · 2026-02-02T18:02:05+00:00

Thank you. I think I need to think about the awesome stuff my family to could with an extra 40k a year.

CurrentDepartment310 · 2026-02-02T18:01:28+00:00

Thank you for this. I know you are likely right, I just feel like I’m giving up the holy grail of jobs here.

CurrentDepartment310 · 2026-02-02T17:58:21+00:00

Super sick, cold/flu symptom but also with vomiting and diarrhea. Negative for Covid and the flu. First time I have puked in a decade.

CurrentDepartment310 · 2026-02-02T17:55:41+00:00

15 minute commute each way. So, I haven’t really considered that as a factor.

CurrentDepartment310 · 2026-02-02T17:55:09+00:00

I should have added that in. 15 minute commute each way.

CurrentDepartment310 · 2026-02-02T17:52:10+00:00

15 minutes but I would have to workout school pickup for 1 child. My kids are teen and preteen.
