Give up wfh for a 30-40k raise and the best possible role i could have in my career at this point? Yay or nay? I thought I was ready to do it but they just called me for a final round interview and now im having second thoughts. Dammed if I do, dammed if I dont..I dont have to spend the whole 8 hours in the office unless im working with my hands or testing equipment that day. I figured I can get a self driving tesla to make the commute less miserable.Idk man..
Forgot to mention at my current salary I cant afford a new car or move out of my mom's house without significantly lowering the quality of the food I eat and giving up vacations
>>62261015Keep your wfh job. I quit my current job after 2 years cause having to come into the office every day killed me. Also I had to move out of my parents house to work there and I ended up living in a shitty condo alone surrounded by jeets and niggers it was terrible.
>>62261130How did it almost kill you? Im tryinng to pretend its not so bad but I cant remember. The commute makes a big difference. I do like waking up at 9:30..
>>62261015>a 30-40k raisefrom what?there is a lot to be said for being comfyi would rather earn 80k at a job i would happily remain at forever than 120k at a job which is stressfulbut earning less than 50k is bad
>>62261319From 105k but thats poverty wage. Before u say anything my muslime coworker who is really good with money and doesnt spend anything only saves 1000 bucks a month and he makes 10k more than me. I only saved 5k in 2025. I would have had an extra 10k if i gave up whole food but whats the point of livingnif u cant eat high quality food(to all the eruopoors, u have to spend a small fortune on food that isnt filled with chemicals and had actual taste..) The new job is more interesting than my last. I dont get stressed at work. Traffic and not being able to watch a movie while im working might cause me to lose my marbles though.. There is also an interview for another fun job that's 3 days a week but the commute is a bit longer..Idk man. When I was in college I REALLY just wanted to drop out and enjoy life, im gald I didnt. Also this new job will pay me for my masters, problem is my college is on the other side of town through heavy traffic. Getting a self driving tesla would be my only hope for coping.This new job is amazing for my career though. If I ever leave then I can have any engineering job I want in my field. Idk what to do man. I love engineering but sometimes I wish that u could still afford a house working a low skill comfy job.80k in colorsdo wont fucking cut it unless u live rent free with parents.
>>62261326bait or eternally ngmi>80k in colorsdo wont fucking cut it unless u live rent free with parents.you can literally rent in highland for under $2k a month lmao
>>62261330>food>gas>internet/TV>heat/water>car payment(it costs a lot to maintain a shitbox>unexpected medical bills>student loan payment(no one is giving u 80k without a degree unless u want to work 60 hours of body breaking manual labor)>food(thats not king soupers slop but if u eat bland poison food then ye u can make it, that was my whole point)U can live alone on 80k no problem, u just wont have any vacations or savings. No going out with ur freinds to bars or anything like that.Or u can rat king soupers slop. OR, u can bring a skinny dyel who eats 1.5 times a day(I used to do it). Either way its not much of a life.
>>62261353so bait then
>>62261015WFH is worth more than 40k. Unless you make 40k.Just the very thought of buying a car for it eats away a year plus of the increase, 500 hours of your time a year, the comfy, etc.
If you are single (as two thirds of men under 30 are) there is zero reason to move out of your parents house unless and up to if they are torturing you daily with a cattle prod
>>62261015depends on what you do with the extra cash. will significantly speed up early retirement? if so by how much. if its just a few years in 1-2 decades then its not worth it. thats basically all it is.
>>62261326> The new job is more interesting than my lastGo for it
