Dilemma..
If you had two offers, which one would you pick:
Option 1: Low Job Satisfaction, High WLB (8-9 hr work day), Decent Pay
Option 2: High Job Satisfaction, Poor WLB (work on weekends), Better Pay (30% higher than Option 1)
What is your current age? Are you married? If unmarried and want to provide a better life to your family, yourself and your partner, better to go with Option 2. As struggling to earn and learn can be done only at a few points.
If you are already Married and have no financial issues. Go for Option 1. As at this point.
WLB can be built or maintained if we somehow look for balance options.
Most importantly, you need to quantify 30% more pay... :)
10L vs 13L
Or
80L vs 104L
Depends on
- if I'm married/dating
- if i have financial obligations/loans
- if I have to pursue higher education
- if I want remote flexibility
- do I own a house/assets
- how much money do i have in the bank
- how much money does my spouse make
Based on that, i might prefer one over another. The marginal utility of money diminishes but depending on what you have accomplished so far.
