      And that doesn’t even include cost of living.

      I would spend at least 500€ a month for comparable living standards in the city the nearest office is located in. And even then, I’d live somewhere in a half-ghetto 1h away from the office.

      I’d be really interested in statistics about the amount of actual in presence work. Maybe software development is the absolute outlier here, but every single team I’ve worked in was distributed in some form. If half the team is 500km away anyway, being in the office changes nothing compared to being at home.

      About $7k in mass transit costs for me.

      And then they wonder why I said “none” to “how many days a week will you be in?”

          Tristate area, commute to NYC, only option is a private carrier. Prices change based on the cost of fuel mostly, varies from $500-700/mo.

          And yes, it’s absurd.

          Edit: I should add that’s the discounted monthly option for 40 trips (so 20 days of commuting). If I pay each day, it’s $100/day, which is what I do now since I don’t commute in enough anymore to be worth any of the discounted commuter options.

    Assuming you only take 2 weeks off to make the math easy, every $4 per day you save equals $1,000 per year.

    If you have decided to raise kids, the difference between paying for childcare and not is already quite the savings.

        Because in those 1-3 years, every year you stay in a job without a raise matching inflation you’ve received a pay cut.
