There's a point in your career where you have to decide do I want another $5000 a year or is it worth that $5000 to not have to drive into work and to work with people I like.
I've been working remotely for over 20 years and WFH was not really a thing until very recently, that small benefit has kept me at the same company for probably a few years too long. I valued the ability to work from home at about $15,000 so even a perfect job that required me to come into the office every day needed to offer me $20,000 more than I'm making even to be considered. What things do you value about your current job that's not monetary and then put a monetary value -do you love your co-workers, would $5000 make you love them less? Do you enjoy the work, would $10,000 allow you to enjoy something else?
The issue of course is you are trading the known for the unknown, will you love the next job as much as your current job and are you willing to gamble, will $15,000 make that gamble easier? Everyone has a number what's yours?
