If I made 2.5x my current salary, which would be almost 400,000 a year, I would seriously consider returning to the office. Then I would retire in something like 10 years which is way earlier than I'm currently looking at. For that, RTO would actually be worth it.

    It wasn't even a bad salary beforehand, it was way above average for my city and I was able to save and invest about 40% of my paycheck, now it's almost as if all I do is saving since my living expenses are such a small part of the salary

    I thought 2.5 meant 2.5 when going in, but it's more like an 5x on disposable income so it feels completely different

    There's a lot of stuff in defense contracts that aren't killing people in europe

    Procurement, borders, visas, terrorism intel, ...

    I just make very boring CRUD software for international agencies to make national services interoperate better

    It's only defense related because it necessarily has sensitive strategic information transitting through our databases
