Good afternoon and Happy Sunday fam,

I just got an offer for a remote accounting role paying $66 (no data allowance), but the catch is—it also requires me to double as the operations person.

Meanwhile, I’m currently working remotely as a Manager, earning over $200 (excluding data allowance), and I also have several years of solid accounting experience under my belt.

With the clear pay gap and extra responsibilities, do you think this new offer is worth considering, or should I just reject it outright? 🤔

Honestly, this offer isn’t worth it. You’re already earning over $200 in your current remote Manager role, and they’re offering just $66 with even more responsibilities. That’s a huge step down, not just in pay but in value recognition.

With your accounting background and years of experience, you should be positioning yourself for higher-paying, specialized roles—not settling for less. Unless there’s a clear long-term benefit (like global exposure, networking, or a direct path to something bigger), I’d advise you to reject it politely and keep your focus where your worth is properly appreciated.

In short: Don’t downgrade yourself. Protect your value.

I don’t think all that is necessary. If you have advice to offer, give it. If not, it’s okay to just say nothing. Not everything needs commentary. But hey — what do I know.

Yes, consider it. The $66 will buy you more than the $200 you now earn.

And before anyone quotes me, use brain to consider the absurdity of this thread!

Lol. I myself was wondering what was the guy's issue actually. The only logical thing I could think of is maybe he doesn't like being a manager, and wants to pursue accounting which he's more experienced in and is willing to commit a pay suicide for that.

The OP is waiting for people to ask about how the remote job was gotten and that is where it will all begin, if you know what I mean

Do both

Good morning, you can think whatever you like and I don't have to prove anything to you.
