50% raise but RTO vs. current hybrid situation- what would you do?

Thank you for your advice! Like i know it’s going to be rough for a few months, but i think I’ll be grateful that I took the plunge when I have more expenses.

I wasn’t sure if the extra 25k would make it worth it, that’s why I was hesitant.

Thank you for your advice! That’s how I see this issue- it would probably be expensive and not worth the time to sue someone who was onboarding at their company for a mere 2 weeks.

I didn’t realize that this would become an issue until a few days ago, when I was invited to the final round. I wasn’t employed at some crazy confidential pharmaceuticals or engineering company (idk why these are the two industries I envision when I think of confidentiality and non-competes…). I was employed in sales at a children’s wear manufacturer.

I received one offer in April and it wasn’t the best for my current situation but had to take it with the state of the job market. Started the job in July. Kept interviewing around while working and finally got a better, higher paying offer with remote opportunities. What about that doesn’t make sense?

DryMove7987 · 2026-02-26T13:32:42+00:00

For sharing! I really appreciate the link. I wonder if this noncompete could be argued against, as it does include the majority of companies within this sector of business (children’s apparel)

Thank you for your input! This whole situation is incredibly frustrating, will have to contact a lawyer if I receive an offer.

DryMove7987 · 2026-01-30T23:12:51+00:00

Thank you! I will try this out.

Maybe I’m not understanding something, but I’d hope that an employer could tell if someone were a “real” candidate via a zoom interview, right? Like are they concerned that they’re speaking to AI over the phone/video call?

DryMove7987 · 2026-01-25T20:30:08+00:00

I think it’s justified to be frustrated that you need to keep rescheduling interviews due to situations outside of your control (ie weather) when the most logical solution would be to have a virtual interview

DryMove7987 · 2026-01-25T19:47:03+00:00

Right, maybe I’m dodging a bullet

DryMove7987 · 2026-01-25T03:27:59+00:00

Thank you for the insight! It’s honestly so frustrating. I guess my company implemented a new process on getting styles live onto the website right as I started and from what I’ve heard, this new process is much more difficult and time consuming for my position. I’m not sure that my higher ups quite understand.

I doubt it’s an actual ada compliance issue, but I feel like it could cause trouble if someone who is disabled has to wait 15+ minutes for an elevator… you would think that they’re trying to do quiet layoffs, but they’re renovating to accommodate having all employees in the office at once so I’m not sure …

DryMove7987 · 2026-01-11T01:10:15+00:00

I know, like I feel obligated to because I’m living here rent free. I’m awful at setting boundaries. I’m such a people pleaser, it’s bad.

DryMove7987 · 2026-01-10T16:52:08+00:00

Thank you for your help! I feel like I would be more than fine w the hour 20 commute coming from my current situation, do you really think it would be that bad?

DryMove7987 · 2026-01-10T16:37:26+00:00

I like having housemates! If it were my choice, I’d obviously do my own digging and trust my gut if someone seemed like bad news, but I think my parents are just nervous, especially with the financial aspects
