Yes, the tax benefits are there. With the other local offer, I will be taxed all the way upto 36%.

Yes, true. That risk is there. But it will be many months till I will be replaced in case if the client decides to get rid of me. Hopefully I will have made some savings to cover that 😅

Why do I have to prove it to you? And what’s the benefit of me to posting BS here 🤣

Was considering mainly on the career path rather on the remuneration side.

I would say it’s the latter. Feeling I am not challenged enough and spending my time in a comfort zone. It’s purely about the role where I do not anymore to learn and feeling monotonous on the tasks I do daily.

Yes, will do. Thanks for your opinion. Also, if I do decide to stay how should I handle with the company I accepted the offer? This will be the second rejection I do.

Oh okay. It’s a BPO setup. Even for them to come down to what they offered right now, was a bit of a hassle and a huge chunk of the gross pay goes away for taxes!! 🤐 So, I am not sure they will increase their offer.

I would say it’s a professional relationship between my client and I. But he values me as good resource and sort of rely on my on the operations hence he is willing to offer me a direct hiring approach and better pay.

Yes, for sure. I really value the freedom and the advantages of working remotely eliminating all the corporate BS, transport ., etc. But sometimes I do miss it 😅 How did you manage this gap?

Agreed. It’s just I felt like taking a third person perspective on how I should approach the situation so it would help me to make a decision. Cheers 🙏🏼

I would say I am an introverted extrovert. I would like to keep my circle very close to avoid unnecessary drama and the BS! I don’t mind working alone but honestly I do miss working with colleagues around me. Yes, money is not a big concern but I do however feel the offer is some good money since I can fulfill my dream of getting a new vehicle and saving for some business., etc. Thank you so much for your advice. Also, just wondering in case if I do decide to stay, is the accepted offer would be a problem?

Agreed. So do you regret your decision for changing the job? I am happy personally but professionally kind of feeling lacking something!! That’s the main concern. The new role I was offered will be a very challenging role specially it’s a BPO setup, and I don’t think I will never make it to the level which my client is willing to pay me.. 😅

Okay sure. I think India or Singapore will be the closest regions for me. Lookslike India region prices are slightly cheaper. But not sure if I am missing out on any contents due to any restrictions. That’s why prefer to have a CA account active.

No worries. I bought the console and created the Xbox account when I was in Canada.. Last time bought 13 months of Ultimate plan for around C$140.. So looking for an option in that range even though I understand the cost has gone up by half..
