#1 is that job you can work without being drained or worn out. You can see yourself there for years and it wont be a big deal. You live a decent every day life...

#2 is good for the money but sounds draining and when the thought pops into your head about working there for years, you just simply dont want to even think about it lol

With that said, i would pick either depending on your financial goals and how much they mean to you. 60+k more is a very considerable amount.

to me, job 1 seems like a better option... meaning there seems to be more growth in a F25 company rather than a F500.

Dude... that sound terrible lol.

Winner. I chill at home (subsidized housing).

For everyone asking other questions...I'm not dodging shit. I'm asking for which job you'd pick based only on the information I gave you.

I'm not telling you my net worth either, but it doesn't mean you can't have an opinion. I'm trying to get some advice without bringing in other shit to muddy it up.

I work in a bank fund, so i get pretty good tax rates on loans and extended loan periods etc... paying about 170 a month for my car.

None the less, i got the weather and a beautiful country on my side

As for OP original question, i would still opt for Job 1.

[WreckerX5d]

If you break it down into hourly wages, job #1 makes more money at $108/hr, not including lunch, while job #2 makes $79/hr. These do not include bonus' as I do not look at a bonus as a guarantied pay.

After bonus it's $121/hr vs $91/hr.

My opinion is option #2 still, as 9.5 hours a day really is not that much work to me, considering the end result is $50k+ more a year.

[shoei]

That 9.5 hours a day and that 50K doesn't sound as amazing when you factor in on call 24-7 and travel time... People don't factor in travel time of sitting in airports, flights, and the inevitable flight delays / cancellations...

[eluded]

I follow the money. It's called work for a reason.

But that $50k sounds amazing when you use it wisely.


Wisely = posting extravagant purchases on social media to make your life look like something it truly is not.

That $50k is a $1,000 purchase per week for your social media fans! Like shoes? Think about how many followers will add you after posting your $1k new kicks each week.

What would you do in your free time with Job #1 that you couldn't do with #2?

Could you have a hobby that makes some money on the side with job #1?

Could you move closer to where you would work for Job #2?

Single, married, kids?

What would you do with the higher monthly income from #2? Is it worth more to you than your time?

Well, he isn't leaving $66k on the table.

You have to factor in Uncle Sam.

OP lost over $900mm one year so he technically doesn't have to pay taxes for a couple decades.

Phase 3: Profits

[BayMoWe335]

Staying with job 1. I let them know this morning.


Thanks for all the input gents. Ultimately, it's about the time for me.

I wish I had the slightest idea. I am a few commas away in net worth to even think about how to pay less taxes.


@op
Hope it works out the best for you.

I chose a low paying job because it offered me personal freedom. But oh my how it has cost me in terms of financial freedom.

[RickFLM4]

Job 2 even though after factoring in federal and state taxes, plus additional commute time / costs, it will probably be more like 50-60% of the $66K difference.

Less work hours, shorter commute and lack of travel sound compelling for Job 1. So why do I say Job 2? Job 1 doesn't sound realistic for long in today's corporate environment. It seems ripe for elimination or consolidation with another position that will leave you doing just as much work as Job 2 somewhere down the road for less money than Job 2.

Edit: Just saw post above about Job 1 so good luck with it.
