I currently have a full time job in my field. It pays $91,000, has standard benefits package, requires 25% travel, the rest of the time is wfh. One unique feature here is I have a pension, which becomes vested at 5 years. I am in my 3rd year at the company.
I have a job offer for another local company in a similar field that will pay $110,000, standard benefits, have to be onsite 2x per week, no travel and no pension.
I value wfh a lot, but hybrid isn’t the worst thing. Sometimes business travel is fun, but sometimes it’s really awful.
Is a $19,000 increase now worth forfeiting my pension? If I stayed for 5 years the pension would pay about $350/mo after 65. If I stayed for 30 years the pension would pay about $3500/mo after 65. That is assuming I survive all future layoffs.
Which option would you choose?
