I would rather make 50k WFH than 100k in an office.

For double the salary, I'd need to think long and hard about it tbh.

For me it would heavily depend on where the office is located relative to my apartment, and how long my commute would turn out to be. More than 15-20 minutes by bike is a no-go (I live in Europe).

Also assuming the requirement to be in the office isn't a huge red flag for bad management in the first place.

Well obviously the commute should be within a reasonable distance, I wouldn't spend 5 hours a day in a car or train for it. But let's say the total time spend back and forth is about 1,5 - 2 hours total. I feel that's worth the time spend for a hypothetical double salary.

Obligatory presence in the office is indeed a red flag if it doesn't actually provide a benefit to the role. To clarify, I'm 100% WFH in Denmark so I'm not advocating to push people into an office building but there's definitely a point where nearly everyone would go into the office full-time, if salary and benefits are high enough.

50K isn't worth 10+ hours extra hours per week going solely toward work.

Lol, my family can't afford to live on $50k a year. So that's a hard no for me.

[-] TheCopiedCovenant@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 year ago

Hahaha, yeah definitely a no for the family man. But as a single man 50k is fine, and the flexibility is worth more than a 100% raise.

You do you, there's no way I'd take a $50k pay cut under any circumstance
