Life is short and not guaranteed.

I also understand the immense quality of life improvements gained by working from home and they’re worth so much money to me personally. If you feel the same, I wouldn’t hesitate to make the change.

It’s not like you’re taking an obvious financial step back by doing this. By all measures, your life will be better in the present and long run.

Working remotely is the only reason I began looking for jobs. It's hard to put a price tag on it, but I know it is worth a lot to me.

I think you are right regarding not taking a financial step back. I did consider the fact I'd be putting a lot of my income into the 401k, but I would still be in a better position than the guaranteed 5-6% gross contribution into the pension fund when considering the bonus for meeting reasonable objectives.
