Your parents would rather you make less money than take the step towards higher pay? I don't understand this about a lot of folks, especially parents. A higher salary job isn't going to just fall into your lap. You need to make strategic career moves, including physical ones, to advance your career. I understand everyone's situation is different. But the argument that moving out offsets the salary increase is moot once you realize that the cost of living will always increase and your pay will remain stagnant unless you make these jumps. But barring physical disabilities where children may be playing caretaker roles, parents cannot be stunting their adult children's growth for the sake of feelings. I also can't imagine how it affects one's mental health to be working from their parents' home 100%. Good luck in this new endeavor! You've earned it!

Reply to I make 42k and I work from home 4 out of 5 days a week. I signed a 60k offer onsite 23 miles there and back 45 min, 45 min back. Does this make any sense? by RemarkableCell1859
