Thank you for your message!
Definitely, but I see it the other way: as long as work is good, pays well and allows to work remotely, I can focus on my life more and spend time with my family and friends. I've been in situations where work was stressful, and it really had an impact of my qualify of life
I don't disagree, but depending on where you're at career-wise, a few 15% raises can make a huge difference come retirement. There's always more factors than just money, but money is a significant factor. Remote work is frankly huge when you look at the money not having to commute is worth in unpaid hours and transit costs. I wouldn't go back to the office for a fifteen percent raise because I'd be losing money.
Appreciate your thoughts, though. The grass is definitely not always greener on the other side.
Definitely! I got a huge raise before coming here, and I think I'm good on that side for a few years. Normally there should be a promotion at some point, with a raise linked to it.
Completely agree.
