This is a burner account to remain anonymous. I do have a question about a situation I am in and I want people's opinion. I know I can only make the decision but I would like to see where people's thoughts are at...
So I currently work a fly in/fly out position working 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off at a "remote" location. I make roughly $250,000 a year, with my performance bonus. In addition to this I get a 8% pension and company stocks (additional $35,000). I also get 15 days of vacation in addition.
Now I have kids and a wife, and have been thinking of moving back to our city.
I got an offer from a local company in our city but the pay is $125,000 with a 20% yearly bonus making it $150,000. There is a pension of 5%. No company stocks unless I invest X amount with them, then they match a certain amount. I also get 32 days of vacation in addition.
We could probably make the job at home work, but we have investments that cost us money every month. Leaving minimal amount for savings at the end of the month.
The job I currently have allows us to save quite a bit. We live comfortably.
My wife would like me to come back home, but not if it doesn't make sense. We like the 2 weeks off, and can travel without taking vacation. But it would be nice to be home working Mon-Fri.
The take home pay difference could be $4000-5000 a month.
