Dave's losing his edge. For every supposed study coming out about how remote is bad, more spring up that say the opposite. Offices are expensive. Having workers do the job at their own house using their own electricity saves money.

Why would I pay $3000 (or effectively $5k in salary after taxes) to work in an office that's filled with distractions?

My overall long term plan is to invest heavily into my Roth, 401k and create financial freedom.

They also require overnight stay out of town depending on where the job sites are, and I don't want to work 60 hours a week on average. The extra money would be nice, but I'd never have the free time to enjoy it, plus I'm debt free with a paid off house, no kids, and the wife and I make enough to easily cover our cost of living expenses.

I would take the other job and work remote. Move to a cheaper cost of living state/city and save more. If long term studies show it is better to work from the office then you have plenty of years on hand to make those types of moves. Loyalty is a one way street in the corporate world and not many companies know how to develop and retain a talent.

[@puneri]

I should also add that do not compare only the base salary difference. Is the overall package (that includes cash bonus, stock bonus, 401(k) match etc.) more than $30k?

[@magicpony9]

Dave should cite the studies he’s referencing…it might make sense if you’re in like sales, but network dev? website maintenance? There’s no need to go in and companies who offer remote work are going to become that much more attractive.

[@MeowmyandMe]

The cost of living in Denver is insane. Take the job. Remote work isn’t the devil Ramsey says it is

[@philipepling]

I've seen a dozen studies that say work from home produces higher job satisfaction and productivity. I've not seen a single one that says otherwise. I think that's just the Boomer in Dave grasping onto the past. Why on earth would you limit your workforce by geography instead of by talent?

[@David-wo9un]

Not a fan of the new guy; what happened to Anthony?

[@David-wo9un]

@@saulgoodman2018 That is one of the reasons I liked him; unlike the others, he did not sit there agreeing with every word spoken by Dave.

[@littleripper312]

I love not commuting but I'm definitely less productive working from home and I miss having coworkers.

[@LittleMopeHead]

WFH does not work for everyone because it depends on the job and interactions with others. As web developers, WFH has been the greatest thing for my company. We saved on rental spaces per month, time wasted in traffic, gas, etc. Work is the same, just different setting.

[@divineradiacewisdom1020]

My company undervalues me it’s unbelievable your channel encouraged me to find better and a much higher salary

[@agonyofthenearmiss]

Why be loyal to a company that doesn’t pay you what you’re worth?

[@sophies6957]

I agree with Dave, plus this guy is only 24. Seems like his company likes him quite well. I recently found a job that pays me better than my old job for the same position...but it also comes with way more peace . I don't think I would leave this job for a raise somewhere else....lots of things come in to play when finding a new job

[@avocadogaming3942]

Work from home gang. Don't listen to boomers

[@Soljarag5]

Dave just doesn't want his people to work remote 🤣. He just built a huge office building and is freaking out

[@WLpeasant]

Terrible advice! He clearly states that he is replaceable at his current employer. Don't show loyalty where it is not returned. Boomer advice, smh.

[@jeanpierrerideout7560]

Also advise from a man with hundreds of millions tied up in commercial real estate. Not exactly an unbiased opinion.

[@roolyfe]

Working from home. Save gas ⛽️. Save lunch 🥗. Save coffee ☕️. I WOULD NEVER 👎 GO BACK TO THE OFFICE!!! Boomer Dave

[@roolyfe]

The new normal

[@romanfedynchuk1385]

Go take a new job bro that pays you 1.5 more than what you currently make! You started looking for a new job for a reason!

[@nancyt6895]

WFH is becoming a HUGE perk in many industries. Options are going to be key in hiring.

[@courtneyhale]

“Tacky” was such a weird word for Dave to use in the case of getting a pay increase at a new job vs a raise at a current job. Dave sits on $200M, I’m sure he will think it’s tacky. A person that makes $70K is not tacky for providing more for themselves. I thought “income was our greatest wealth building tool” lol

[@Frank-dy7lx]

New data shows Dave has higher productivity working from home. Good job, Dave.

[@Lizzytan]

30k is a great increase, and you save on gas, mileage on vehicle saving your vehicle. Driving time. I'd say take the new job you never know you might love it too.. i didn't realize this was 2 years ago. Did you take the new job?

[@sumitron2k]

Depends upon job type… or phase of a project. Blended work is best with a few days every couple of weeks.

[@tmusa2002]

Why doesn’t he ask better questions with this? Is he close to the office so if they change back to in-office work he can drive to it? He just immediately got hung up on the remote topic. Duh.

[@hiphopheaven]

I love working from home for programming jobs. The time I save for commuting allow me to workout and socialize

[@lecodh1]

Dave once said he has over 400 IT people working for his company…something like that. Can anyone tell me what 400+ IT people would do at a company such as Dave’s? I’m very very curious. Love the show.

[@djpuplex]

Grass is always greener until you stand on it. I would kill to work remotely, can't in my field though.

[@jacobsmithjr]

Wow, that's the best advice I've ever heard!

[@arbitrarylib]

Coworkers do fit the human need for interaction but don't base your decisions on how the company feels. Listen to yourself.

[@ithinkigottalent4047]

Successfully working remote depends on the person. I'm productive because I also have a business that allows me to engage in project management and creating relationships. I'm also in Toastmasters and I continue developing my public speaking skills. When I was in the office, it was a waste of time and energy. Tolerating fake situations in order to soothe someone else's ego. Eating junk food (cookies, cake and other junk) to show management that "we're a strong team". There's a lot less fakeness now🥳

[@BigSoul29]

To be honest I think people deserve hybrid. The option to work from home if needed but I agree working in person is SO MUCH better. I have the same dilemma as this guy. I'm 28. Would be leaving an admin role for a new role that's hybrid ( I could work from home forever or work on office forever).

[@sethbender2863]

If I had the opportunity to make 30k more a year remote. I would take it. I would then travel the world with that extra 30k for a few years. Go somewhere every other month or something.

[@JMM2479]

Oooooof. This ain't it. Categorically false across the board on this one.

[@simonthebroken9691]

To each his own. If the company adds the benefit of a home office payment, then fine. If they don't, you're effectively doing the same job for far less money. Your choice. Choose well.

[@vyspeeds]

Boo to the company. You’re not doing anything wrong. Make your money and make the switch.

[@tylersanders2388]

Dave just gave bad advice after bad advice on this call. Remote work is fine in accounting. He should take the extra 30 grand because he’s only 24 and can work harder for extra hours if needed. Also, remote work has been around for years and workers want to keep on being remote

[@mdzaid5925]

IT companies in India, deployed remote working during pandemic and their productivity bumped up significantly. And my rough guess is that over 20 million people work in IT in India.
