Which Job Would You Choose?

[DeletedUser397]

I know you would rather not have a job, because it's "slowlane" mentality. But not everything in life is black and white, and I'm not just going to quit working a day job until I can afford to live comfortably without a job.

Right now I have a good problem. I have 2 attractive job offers, but it's difficult to choose between them. I wanted to get your opinions to see what job you would choose, from a fastlane standpoint. I'm primarily looking for a job that allows me more freedom. Following are my choices:

Job A

Pros:
- Excellent benefits and advancement opportunities
- Very relaxed work environment, rarely more than 40hrs/week
- Good, safe suburb location, no traffic, good place to 'settle down'

Cons:
- No name company
- Only 2 weeks of vacation per year (including federal holidays)

Thoughts:
- I would likely have a lot of time to devote to my personal business projects. Though if I wanted to switch jobs, it may be a challenge. I'd probably have to move to another city to find another job. I'd have to take this job for the long haul. I'm not sure if I'm ready for that yet.


Job B

Pros:
- Remote job, with ability to work-at-home or anywhere
- Very well-known company, great resume-builder

Cons:
- Pay is 5k less, benefits are more expensive, not as good (after tax about a total of $10k less)
- Work hours are longer, about 40-60hrs per week

Thoughts:
- If I take this job, my plan is to visit a bunch of different cities, attend conferences, go to concerts, and basically go to all the places I've always wanted to go. My worry is that I may not have time to work on much side business projects, but the ability to travel/work anywhere could be a rare opportunity.

------------------


Both jobs involve the same exact type of work, and I'll learn the same skills.


Just curious what fastlaners would choose, given these options?


Thanks for any opinions.
