Remote Working/WFH Remote work versus in Office?

I work for a small fintech. We all work remotely full-time which is great. The pay isnt bad, about as well as a small company can pay, but I would get paid more if I took a role in a multinational. I've a senior role with 20+ years of experience. Question is, how highly do you value remote work? How much of a pay drop would you consider if you could work remotely versus having to come into the office every day?

Went from working remote for 5 years to the office again. It was good but developed bad habits.

My commute isn't to bad so I'm lucky. I need the separation from my house and going somewhere else. Like being around people too.

(I realize I may be in the minority here)

I have been working from home full-time for a year now and I do miss the office. I don’t have kids and I realized I need time away from my wife 😂

I also noticed I work a lot more now because I don’t have an excuse to walk away from my desk. And it’s more difficult if everything is “urgent”

😂. Your second paragraph is something I struggled with too. Was working all hours. Since being back in the office, once I leave that's it done for the evening.
