[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have the opportunity to leave my WFH job and have a 25-minute commute (4 miles, but crazy traffic) and be in the office 4 days a week. I really detest the idea of commuting plus it involves an extra 20 minutes for hair/makeup/wardrobe. I also really enjoy being able to do laundry and minor housework in between meetings.

The new job would pay 75% more than my current job, almost doubling my salary.

I know it would be a HUGE raise, allowing me to retire several years earlier, but I am not in need of more money and I don't know if it's worth it to give up the luxury of WFH.

For the sake of discussion, assume both jobs are equal in terms of job satisfaction, what I do, etc.[/quote]

Do you have obligations during the day outside work? Young or school-age children or pets? Would being in an office all day disrupt your quality of life, as in are you an introvert who really values flexibility and being able to take a walk in the afternoon (time that you would spend commuting)? If none of the above apply, then for a gut check make a list of the things that you would dislike about the situation (40 minute commute, X more on gas, x more on drycleaning and makeup expenses, less flexibility, x more on food if at the office, etc) and contrast that to what you would get (more money, ability to retire earlier, etc).
