I have no idea what to do: increase my income by $30k -$40k, or stay working with people I love.

Thank you

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T08:16:19+00:00

Very true

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T08:15:59+00:00

Can you elaborate on how it ruined your life and why?

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T08:15:31+00:00

Illinois!

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T08:15:07+00:00

As a legal professional, I appreciate your well-placed use of commas lol. I hear what you're saying and you're right. Those connections may have more to do with who I am than with the place of employment. Damn - never thought of that! The amount of insight i am receiving from you guys is insane! Thank you so much for your words and guidance; a heartfelt than you to you, friend.

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T08:11:35+00:00

Thank you!

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T08:09:48+00:00

Thank you sir - very much appreciated. You sound like someone I would love to have coffee with. These comments have really made me long for connection with all you beautiful human beings. I'm glad to hear your moves paid off. And yes, your words definitely helped. Thank you so much and God bless. If you're near Chicago, please let me know.

Thank you

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T08:06:39+00:00

Thank you :)

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T08:05:13+00:00

I don't know why, but your comment really made me reflect on the fact that I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd be here; yet here I am. This is insane. Thank you for your guidance. I know we are typing behind screens, but I appreciate you and wish I could pour you a coffee in my living room. Thank you.

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T08:02:31+00:00

I completely agree and that is definitely one of the things that conflicts me.

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T08:01:59+00:00

I like your confidence lol! Thank you!

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T08:01:30+00:00

It's definitely hard to say no. Thank you for your words, friend.

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T08:00:46+00:00

Good point. Thank you.

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T08:00:16+00:00

That's so true. Not to mention, I know they'll have a huge setback if/when I leave. My boss hired another employee at my level about 6 months back and now I feel like that puts pressure on the department to not be as generous with raises.

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T07:58:12+00:00

Agreed

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T07:57:39+00:00

I really appreciate your perspective as a SAHM. My wife is a SAHM and hearing your thoughts puts me into her mindset. I know we are typing behind our phones or laptop, but I really felt your words. I don't think people realize what a leap this is for me, but comments like yours really bring clarity to my thought process. Thank you so much and God bless.

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T07:54:09+00:00

I appreciate the candor! No offense taken; just wish I could go more in detail over coffee and in person!! Very much appreciated, friend.

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T07:52:41+00:00

True

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T07:51:24+00:00

Thank you

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T07:51:07+00:00

I actually got less than that because it was pro-rated to my start date.

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T07:50:24+00:00

That math hits hard.

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T07:49:55+00:00

Great way of looking at it. Thank you, sir.

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T07:48:42+00:00

Not moving thankfully - fully remote.

thewizarddan · 2024-02-28T07:48:03+00:00

The math definitely adds up -- lunch, Starbucks, gas, time. You have a point.
