>in boring deadend WFH job>save over £1200 per month>given no serious responsibilities, treated with kid gloves >been in same job for a few years>in mid 30s>have job offer for similar job in London in cooler company with likely more responsibility >will have to go into office a few days a week, move to London and live in tiny flat, save very little apart from pension, but improve chances of career advancement and security>if I ever want to get a promotion or move to another company, moving jobs is common senseI am conflicted. I have become a risk averse cuck as I have saved more and become older. I used to move cities with little in savings.
>>61916202I sure hope you've been DCA'ng into the SP500
I'm actually in the same position>make 115k, love my wfh job because I get to do tons of hobbies and have an amazing life outside of work>OR>take 180k job but Ill be in the office every day with a 20-25 minute commute and will lose a lot of time to do my hobbies
>>61916216Yes but I'm a short way into six figure purgatory in terms of my savings and the cucked and pointless nature of my existence is all too clear to me.
>>61916216I don’t even think VOO will save us, if AI fucks shit up, we’ll be in a deflationary environment.
>>61916236Well if AI takes over I'm heading over to South America to start a militia.
>>61916238This is… kind of my idea too, where if it takes over, I’ll only have $100k saved so I need to go somewhere with a lower cost of living.
>>61916248Honestly going full Mcafee is the way to go.
>>61916202This is one of those instances where money is the bait and most people take it and then look back at the lack of responsibilities they had a that fuck off job and regret thinking money would make them happy. You have less to worry about, be happy that you have such a thing.
>>61916691I have an easy job but a lot of responsibility and OK pay. Laziness keeps me here, I wish they would pay me more in proportion to my responsibilities, also it would be a difficult job for anyone else and it's stressful when they hire people adjacent who I know will struggle (just a lot of creative problem solving and working around road blocks, I'm not really "smart").
