>been in WFH job for a few years>boring and achieving close to nothing professionally but very chill>living in really, really crappy middle of nowhere location to minimise costs>have job offer but would have to move to London>would have to go in to office 3-5 times a week, pay lots for rent in a tiny (I mean really tiny) studio flat, save around £800 less per month>would have more to do on weekends>similar job but slightly more authority, slightly more CV cred, would feel cooler and objectively the more interesting choiceI'm 29 and if I'm in my current job in 2 years I'd consider myself a failure.I feel cucked if I do, cucked if I don't. I can be paid well right now to live like an auraless slug who gets no real responsibilities at work. Or I can live like a cockroach slave in London.I have around £100k in savings and I've only become more cucked and risk adverse since I was poor.And the UK is becoming a worse place for any sort of aspiration. I'd be subsidising diverse knife wielding youths even more in London.
>>61313839>And the UK is becoming a worse place for any sort of aspiration. I'd be subsidising diverse knife wielding youths even more in London.I think if it really helps you get a better job down the line it would be worth it. Although if it's not that much of a leap then maybe you should think of other ways to get your chances up. Would your current job be able to promote you at all or are you just going to stay the same position for 10 years?
>>61313839Career is a boomer meme. Live safe, live comfortably, cultivate yourself and build a family. Nobody ever died saying I wish I did more for career advancement
Didn't realize this board was for poor people.
>>61313946okay anon why don't you let us know how big your penis is?
How much are you saving now? I did the inverse which is leaving London to live in the countryside and work remotely. I am saving less than in London because of a paycut and I am enjoying nature a lot, but I really miss my work colleagues and the activities that we were doing together.
>>61313973>really miss my work colleagues and the activities that we were doing together.buddy, you hang out with your coworkers? how and WHY?
>>61313973Around £1.4k per month
>>61313985>Around £1.4k per month>£I really wanted to make a british joke but i love you oP
>>61313839>would feel cooler and objectively the more interesting choicethe novelty will wear off in like 8-12 weeks and you'll want to hang yourself dead for being so retarded as to give up WFH.
>>61313981I did before the pandemic, after that I went 100% remote>>61313985Looks like financially doesn't make any sense but I have zero regrets about moving to London and living there for almost 10 years. The best years of my life.
>>61314044>I did before the pandemicso you had friends at work? Like you specifically talked to them and then at 5pm, you all went hey let's go to this place now?I never had that
>>61313839stay remotevibe code a bunsinessdo not go to the city and go into work fuck that unless you are some metro faggot especially Londonstan >>61313946kek>>61313951gay and not financially on topic, JANNIES!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>61313946Oh look, a self-hating poor. How novel.
>>61314188>gay and not financially on topic, JANNIES!!!!!!!!!!!!stop flirting with me
Do you have any support nets in either location? If no you should go for career advancement, if yes then I would stick wherever that is.
>>61314249>support nets in either locationwhat kind of support nets would count as support?
>>61314138I used to go to pubs with them after work, maybe once a week, sometimes I would meet them for a house parties, pub crawls and shit like that on weekends.
London blows, its a jeet trap where pups close at fucking 8pm and its overrun by muslims too. Shithole.
>>61314249If I lost my job I'd just move back in with my parents.
>>61314044Yeah you are right actually. I also moved to the capital of my country, got friends from work (the shared stress from work makes people form true feeling bonds better) and had a fucking blast with them. Easily some of the best years of my life. It’s sad that the terminally online people here don’t even realise how they are missing out on real life by being stuck here.
>>61314369>sometimes I would meet them for a house partiesHOUSE PARTIES? Who's party would you even go to? I never had that at my workplaces. But maybe because I told them I don't drink.
>>61314433>It’s sad that the terminally online people here don’t even realise how they are missing out on real life by being stuck here.buddy did you save a lot of money while you were there? If not, then I think wfh is 10x better.
>>61313839Leave the UK somehowI WfH in Texas for 100k and live next door to my parents with my own family
>>61314319Family, friends, anyone reliable>>61314427That’s the point yeah, have family or reliable friends around you so you can get on your feet if needed
>>61314512>Family, friends, anyone reliableman... i wish I had friends. when my parents die I will be on my own. how do I get trustworthy friends?
>>61314525By not having a stupid mentality like this >>61314482 lmao
>>61314695okay buddy, I don't necessarily want to go to a high stress environment but even if I did. what job did you work that had you bond with your coworkers?
>>61314695how many years has it been since you left that place?how do you know they won't leave you afterwards?
>>61314497How's texas right now?Is it going blue or what? Economy ok?
>>61314719We were young doctors, a few nurses too.>>61314728I’m still living it but focused more on a relationship this past year. But of course people drift away as time goes on and things chance, it isn’t a bad thing. Leaves opportunity for new things to come.
>>61314525I think the people who form very strong friendships are generally people who have bad or no family to lean on. I would try to get a GF since you’ll need one to make it, can’t just have your parents.
>>61314774>We were young doctors, a few nurses too.buddy my line of work is basically the opposite of that I would need to start over.>But of course people drift away as time goes on and things chance, it isn’t a bad thingdoesn't it just cancel out the work you've done thoughI'm not a party guy myself but I was expecting some help in the future we could have shaked hands on>>61314788>form very strong friendships are generally people who have bad or no family to lean onyeah I think everyone around me has that currently.>I would try to get a GF since you’ll need one to make it, can’t just have your parents.they cost too much money big dog, I want to make it and just sleep all day
>>61314753lots of fucking indiansim in central TX and the economy is greathousing is expensive now, but necessities are cheap - thanks HEBAustin has always been BlueMexicans are better than indians
god damn it why do you guys always leave so fast
>>61313928This. I dont get op's "need" to advance. Advance to what he's already high up and in a comfy position? Muh boredom and not be challenged is a dumb excuse, it is a job, you work they pay you in return. down. If i was making 100k+ you better believe Im not wasting time "advancing muh career" and simply saving up as much as possible to escape the wagecage permanently.>>61313973>but I really miss my work colleagues and the activities that we were doing together.Kek! You must be the type that pushes potlucks and mandatory after work parties arent ya.
Why not both? Try to get a remote job where you only occasionally have to go into L*ndon
>>61316519>This. I dont get op's "need" to advance. Advance to what he's already high up and in a comfy position?

If i was making 100k+ you better believe Im not wasting time "advancing muh career" and simply saving up as much as possible to escape the wagecage permanently.because if you can make more money you have more chances to gamble, i mean invest in cribtoe. More chances to invest means maybe you only need a 10x or 5x to make it.
>>61313839Honestly anon, make the move, stack even more money, flex on weekend trips, and don’t stress the cross-border stuff. Payments are stupid easy now with xMoney, so you can bounce between countries while London anons are still arguing about rent.
