Let’s assume your a claims leader making 100k a year. You are fully WFH. What type of starting salary/total comp would you need to take a 3-4 day in the office 2 hour round trip job? Curious as to the responses.
How much more to take in office job

At least double
Id need 50% more at LEAST. But honestly, I would be questioning the motives and benefits of a company requiring this to begin with. I’ve yet to see a positive thing that outweighs all of the negatives of commuting and being away from home. If your job can be done at home, why waste money on office space? It’s like a free cost of living raise for all of the employees. RTO never quite made sense.
Is this a home office vs field job. Do you hope to make $200k one day…$300k on day. Which job as more upward mobility over time? Large mgt jobs might need to be in the office more often
I am in office 3 days a week, if I didn’t just get promoted I would be shopping my resume. I’ll probably do that next year
25% or more. Any less would be a demotion imo
I’m claims litigation specialist making more than $100k a year and fully remote. My salary would have to double for me to go to the office and commute has to be about 30 minutes each way. Yes $100K is nice but it’s hard quantify not having sit in traffic an hour each day. The freedom of wfh has its value also
Minimum 6 weeks PTO, a good, no deductible health plan similar or equal to the very good HMO I used to have, $150-175k salary, it must be a “true salary” position where I’m not nickel and dimed for an hour or two off here and there, hours would have to be flexible so I can make the commute during the most convenient time for me. Pension and 401k with company match.
I am fully remote, making almost $100k as a BI adjuster, 5 weeks of PTO, decent health plan but it has a deductible of $1,500, true salary, pension and 401k, my management team is also super flexible. My work life balance is really great, work load is manageable. If I went hybrid, the salary and PTO would matter most, along with company culture.
What I’d want is entirely a pipe dream, but I also have no desire to work a hybrid schedule.
I’d take my current salary (sub $100k) to never have to WFH
I am not built for WFH
30% Premium.
It’s really hard to say. So many factors go into this. The nearest office for me is 30-45 minutes away so not having to drive that 5 days a week is a lot of money at the end of the year that I’m not spending on gas. Obviously this changes a lot if your drive is only 10-15 minutes. The other part is we all will value WFH in itself differently. Me personally, I can’t quite place a price on not having to use a public bathroom or having my kitchen fully available to me during lunch. Everyone is going to value those things different and only you can honestly answer this for yourself imo.
Are executives & HR downvoting these comments, lmao
Want best of both worlds? Be a manager of field adjusters or manage DRP’s in Auto Physical Damage…100% WFH and 6 figures easily. If you want to reach director level, you’d be making at least $200K, but you’ll need to be in a regional or home office at least in a hybrid capacity.
