This is what keeps me where i am.

i can be honest with my manager and when i feel like i didn't do a good job or can be better I can express it and get help doing better. I can also go drinking with him and shoot the shit after work. I know my current job is all in for Work from Anywhere, I also have extreme flexibility in my schedule so I can drop and pick up my fiance from work, do my grocery shopping on my lunch, adjust my hours to go to appointments.

We have been given extra money for health and wellness since COVID which has helped a lot, ergonomic furniture for home, guaranteed pension that I don't need to pay extra into. They have also been generous in schooling, i have taken several courses on company dime and even know they have provided me with 2nd language classes which is done during my work hours. Can't argue with them paying for the classes then paying me to take them.

There is also the fact that they have taken interest in letting me get experience that others places won't allow since most places want experience but won't give it.

Sounds like a pretty awesome company. Have you considered taking the higher salary offer to them? Maybe they'll give you a raise to match and keep you around

Debated it for sure. the problem is i don't want them to call my bluff and then they know they own me by the balls.
