The cost of commuting alone was about $1,000/month for me. So that's like $15,840 of salary when you work it all out. Then there's the hours lost. That's worth something too. |

Date: December 15th, 2025 12:19 PM Author: Heady bawdyhouse rigpig i would take the 120k in a heartbeat. you'd have to go 3x before i'd even think of RTO, and even then it's probably not worth it just based on COL between living wherever you want vs. NYC/LA/SF/DC etc where the 240k jobs are. the QOL difference is totally insane. no waking up early, no cramming down your breakfast slop and getting "dressed", no sitting in traffic or subways with psychotic niggers, no bullshitting with idiot coworkers all day, no being trapped in an office all day unable to knock out anything other than "work," then commuting again back home to your urban dump burned the fuck out so you doordash a $40 burrito. no thank you.

But $120k remote = freedom and $120k anywhere plus the opportunity to get side work to increase your comp to low 200s anyways. $240k = no freedom, all in on one employer. |

Date: December 15th, 2025 6:38 PM Author: Tantric sadistic cruise ship Most jobs (other than billing hourly as an idiot law firm lawyer, LJL at those dinosaurs) can be performed with 2-4 hours of actual work per day.
If you're in the office, you need to wake up early, commute to the office, and physically sit there for 9 hours, often browsing the internet or making idle chatter just to fill the time. Then you commute home and your day is over.
Same job from home = the ability to go to the gym, do errands, nap, play with your kids, and actually live your life, while fitting work in between.
It's a totally different mindset. WFH means you live your life and fit work around it. Office work means you carve out the majority of your adult life for working and fit your life around that.
You've have to be insane to take the latter, even for more money. |
