I've been on the job hunt after being moved to night shifts doing work that I find really boring. I'm currently working in construction on the office side, and at 23 years old, I'm looking for something more engaging. I received a job offer that I'm weighing against my current position. The offer includes a salary of $95k and a per diem of $58k per year, plus a retirement contribution historically at 15% of my base salary. However, there’s no company truck offered, which is a significant perk I currently enjoy. The commute would be 30 minutes for the first project and 2 hours for the second project, which is a change from my current job where I spend 7 hours commuting. The hours are likely to be over 60 per week, and I would be in the area for the next two years. In my current role, I earn $97k with a cost of living adjustment that adds another $5k, plus a per diem of $40k per year and a retirement contribution of 10%. I also have a company truck and gas card, which I rely on heavily since I don’t use my personal vehicle much. The new job aligns more with my experience and interests, but the loss of the company truck is a big consideration for me. I'm curious to hear what others would do in my situation.
