I’m currently on 10million salary with freedom to work from home full time. There’s a lot of trust as long as you deliver results and don’t abuse it, so there’s no problems with going out during the day to run errands or even for short personal matters. It makes like a lot easier and I make extensive use of this flexibility. I also really enjoy working here in general.
I’ve just been given an offer at a new company for 14million which is obviously a lot higher, but there is an extremely strictly enforced 3 day a week in the office policy. From the interviews I also got a vague impression that they wouldn’t be surprised if this was eventually increased to full time in the office. This company also doesn’t have too great of a reputation in terms of their culture and how they treat their employees, though seems highly team dependent. Most of you can probably figure out the company just based on those pieces of information.
I realise this is a highly personal decision and everyone will weigh the values differently, but I’m feeling very indecisive. I’ll go from thinking it’s a no brainer to just go for the higher salary and just grind through. To then switching back to thinking the comfort of my current situation and freedom to sort things out during the day is worth keeping over the increased salary. So I wanted to gauge what people would choose if they were in this position or any advice.
