Is it a wise decision if I switch companies with higher base salary but higher cost of living?
0
For the last 6 months, I've been a full stack developer in a small company that pays quite poorly. But I live with my parents, so I don't really have much financial responsibilities.
I was offered a 75% increase in salary from another company which is far from my parents house. I would have to rent and pay for my own food. I calculated the increase in my salary would only go to rent and food. All-in-all, I would make roughly the net pay at the new company as my current company.
Facts from current company:
1. Full stack Java web-developer (but i want to focus on back-end JAVA)
2. With Healthcard
3. Low salary. Based from long term employees, the increase in salary is very low. I would not get the 75% increase in 5years in my
current company.
4. I travel 2 hours back and forth from my parents house. So total of 4 hours every day of travel.
5. I live with my niece and nephews, and other siblings in my parents house (which is fun) but i eat and sleep when i get home
6. I depend mostly on our maid to cook meals.
Facts from company the offered:
1. Back-End java developer (which is my passion)
2. Same healthcard
3. Increase in salary is 75%. Promotion and increase in salary yearly is still unknown to me.
4. I would only travel 10-20 minutes everyday. Can bike to work.
5. I Would still go home to my parents house every weekends.
6. I will be independent, will have to learn to cook for myself. But i wont be alone, I'm staying with my cousin and he gave me a really
good deal on rent.
7. I might have time to accept outside projects since my work is nearby the place im staying.
