What's your definition of small? How much do you spend just on gas commuting? Do you eat out for lunch when you go to the office? Nobody can tell you with the information you gave

Need pics of wife to formulate an opinion.

That's going to depend massively on the details.
What do you do? Where do you live? How long is your commute? Do you find an office environment stimulating or depressive? Is there a path to promotion that would be hindered by no longer having in person contact with your superiors? How small is small? Etc, etc, etc. Devil is massively in the details on this.

Depends on what you do, what your career aspirations are, aspirations outside of work, etc

For me, wfh further blurs the line between home and work. You can never leave it at the office.
You gotta do you. I hate wfh.

For someone who never really gets to leave it at the office anyway, I find I do my best work at home, especially if the work I'm doing requires/rewards creativity. There's just something about being able to control the space, not be bothered unexpectedly, that helps with that kind of work for me.

I didn’t have to take a pay cut. I know in my work it affects upward mobility but that’s fine with me. I have health issues so it keeps me from being sick and missing lots of work for appointments. It also allows me to rest more and workout every day so I’m also able to stay in top condition given my circumstances.

I spend $80 a week on gas and an hour and 40 minutes total drive time a day. I miss working from home. It was nice to roll out of bed at 5:50, start work for 6, and be done at 2:30 everyday.

in this market i wouldn’t change jobs for a pay cut, period.

Agree. My home is my refuge. When I occasionally have to take care of a work task on the weekend, I usually prefer to run down to work to do it. It’s easier to accomplish without the distractions if home, and it helps define my home as a place for family—not work.

My commuter cost is $30/day without food. I declined a recent job offer that would have me coming into the office 1-2 days a week.

Paycut? This is some bullshite. Are you doing the same work but just at a different physical location? Are they going to pay for your internet, a portion of the utilities and rent for the space you use?

I started a wfh position earlier this year. It has been great for me. We happened to have an unused bedroom upstairs that I took over and turned into my office. That has enabled me to maintain separation between home and work. My position and company is such that I am not remotely monitored for 8 hours of my butt being in the seat. That would be a killer for me. But the flexibility it offers is great. I am able to get up, exercise, then go upstairs to my office and start the day. Before, I would wake up at the same time, get dressed, and leave to drive to an office and get started for the same time. I am healthier and happier wfh.

Because that probably wouldn’t work.
What about an auto recycler?
That probably won’t work either.
A sex surrogate?
Could be trouble too.
We’ve got questions!

I’ve saved money on gasoline, food, and clothing. I spend more on coffee and toilet paper.
I lost a lot of physical activity in just going to an office and walking around during the day, so I had to make that back up in half hour walks.
Lost some socialization so I plan outings to make up for that.
My vehicle will last forever at my current mileage rate. That’s significant.

The major pros are much more flexibility, it's much more difficult for the boss to micromanage you, and you don't have to wake up as early/dress as nicely as if you were going into the office.
The cons, in your case, are the small pay cut and the feeling that when you're at home, even outside of work hours, you have to be working.
