I don’t know what you do, but you have another alternative by moving to DFW, OKC, etc, and make more for the equivalent positions. NWA is typically a stopover for people doing their time in a Walton supporting business, not a perm destination.

Think long, think wrong.
What is your initial gut feeling? Go with it.
I’d choose A

Take the 80 and go above and beyond.
The 115 is fine but really that’s shite money for what you are laying out. I’d rather you just work me to death and then don’t call me.
If you want to make bank and don’t have a family there’s ways to do that. Long term this sounds like a shite plan if you want a family or a life.
If you want to stack cash for a few years and build a resume, fine, great, but be aware you have to leave or you are gonna have a wife who hates you and kids who are shite people because you showed them money is what matters.
Maybe not. Maybe your wife is a stud and loves you that much and can handle it.
I’ve literally seen one case of that and I’m not sure it’s not bc she isn’t ready to see him go. I do think she loves him if that helps.
80 is pretty good man. 80 with free time is awesome.
Good luck.

It’s 45-50 hours a week, that’s not exactly slave labor type hours. If you ever wants to make more than $115k, you’re most likely going to have to put in hours at some point.

A easy.
Getting called out in the middle if the night sucks.

Easily, easily job A. Money isn’t everything.
Posted on 9/10/24 at 3:36 am to cubsfan5150
A, time is the most precious commodity
Posted on 9/10/24 at 3:42 am to cubsfan5150
Can you go back to A and negotiate more money? Tell them you have another offer on the table (hopefully they are competitors) and while you are not asking them to match, some additional salary would really push you into accepting their offer.

You'll need a second job either way if you don't want to live like the poors, thanks Biden

Job A, enjoy your life. Money comes and goes but time is the truly valuable thing.

A
Make enough to survive but have interest outside work. Plan to retire

Now with small kids, I’d lean A; but there are more questions that need to be answered.
Job A is 40 hours a week, but 2 hours to commute each day. You mention you can telework most days, but don’t say how many days per week. You go in 2-3 days a week, and your time at work is equivalent to Job B. Also, what is Job B’s commute time. Would you consider moving closer to A if you decide that route?
Job A can retire with pension in 20 years. B has a pension, but how long until you can retire. Also, at what rate do you get to retire? Avg last 3 year’s salary, percentage of salary, if you work longer than 20 years, can your pension increase?

How far away is Job B. A two hour commute makes Job A less desirable

Depends on your life situation? Got a family or plan to start one soon?
Posted on 9/10/24 at 6:54 am to cubsfan5150
No stress, 4-10s, work from home. No brainer.

I spent 15 years of my life “on call” and hated it. But I’ve also sat in a cube with headphones on all day, just sending emails and shite. Boring as hell. Try to find a hybrid. 1/2 desk job, 1/2 field work

Easy decision for me , A. Money may not he as good but it seems like it’s a lot less stressful.
