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.
