Fully Remote to Office Full Time?
Hi all,
Currently I work remote with 1 day a month in the office and am in line for a job paying a higher salary that would be full time in office.
Finding it really hard to compare the two if I'm honest.
Current role: remote, 43k, looking to leave for a variety of reasons, money is one of them but I also want to go back to an office in some capacity, not possible here due to distance
New role: 70k, office 5 days a week (they seem quite adamant about this), 30 minute commute by car. I havent done 5 office days since before Covid, either been hybrid 2/3 days but mostly fully remote.
The actual roles themselves, my current one has a sales function to it that is really not typical for this role that I really don't gel with and has only grown in importance in the last year whereas the new one would be much more typical for the industry I'm in. Trying not to share too much in case colleagues are here so will leave it at that
I never thought I would be saying this but at the start of this year I realised I do need some weekly office time to be honest, it makes me more productive, happier, more social and some weeks can genuinely feel like lockdown working remote in my current job. That's not to say that there aren't times when it works really well for me in terms of getting to the gym, looking after the house etc, but I do feel on the whole, me being remote is used against me to give me more work, expect me to work over more often and is being used as a reason to overwork me at this current role
I guess the question is what kind of price can you put on full-time office vs remote?
