This is an extra post to accompany “On the Time Burden of Office Work”, which focused on the effective changes in pay and leisure time between remote positions and in-person ones.
Here, we use the same calculations to populate tables for other weekly hybrid schedules. The horizontal rows indicate the number of in-office days per week in your current role, while the vertical columns represent the same quantity in your next role.
Naturally, a positive percentage signifies an increase in pay or leisure time resulting from the job change and a negative percentage denotes a decrease.

For example, moving from a fully remote schedule to 3 days in-office implies a 14% pay cut.
