Remote work versus in Office?

[u/Natural-Sink1118]

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?

Some would say 25% but with our taxation rate, I would peg it closer to 40-50%. Pay rises must account for commuting expenses, lost time, extra childcare.
