[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, [b]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[/b][u].

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

You have your answer right there op. It’s not worth it for you.

I have kids, they are middle / Highschool so I value WFH a lot, cause it gives me opportunity to have lunches with them, to be a “warm body” when they get home from school. If I was empty nester I’d probably go with the office job. Also, the money (at doubling one’s salary is not insignificant), so that would be a consideration too. The issue about your choice is that it’s extremes: fully wfh to almost fully work from office. It would have been a no brainer if it was 2 days or so from office.[/quote]
