I'm currently in a remote role making $100k, but I've received an offer for an in-person position that pays $130k. The catch is that I would need to relocate to another state. The new company is planning to spin off from a larger Fortune 500 company next year, which has me concerned about potential layoffs in the future. My current job has seen layoffs every year for the past three years, but at least I have the comfort of working remotely and not having to commute. I'm torn between staying in my current role where I can be close to family and continue my job search, or taking the new position and risking a layoff shortly after moving. I’ve heard mixed opinions on whether the spin-off is a red flag, with some suggesting that major changes often lead to cuts. I have six years of experience, but the job market feels tough, and getting responses on applications has been challenging. I’m weighing the benefits of a higher salary and potential learning opportunities against the stress of moving and the uncertainty of job security. Should I stay remote for stability or take the risk for a better paycheck?
