Talking about companies that are at least 10k-100k employees and there's probably not going to be backlog from leaving your team. I'm asking because I have PTO remaining in a state that doesn't mandate payout. And I'm pretty sure it's just going to be an awkward 2 weeks if I do work through it, I don't quite need to finish up any high priority work.

I'm considering these apartments in conjunction with a job offer in the area. Finding mixed reviews that are either saying it's great or it's really bad.
I'm hoping to have working AC, not deal with too many bugs, and decent build quality so I'm not hearing my neighbors or the pipes. My current Texas apt was built more recently in 2017, but unfortunately it has clanking pipes and upstairs stomping. Some ants/spiders, no burglaries, and safe area. Saw some reviews also commenting on robberies and feeling unsafe at night. What do ya'll think?
I'm considering job hopping to become more broadly employable after 2 years in insurance. My current job is remote but that's going away in 1.5 years. I have an offer and I'm wondering if I should just immediately lose the remote for a small 10k pay bump from from 115k, but exchanging my tech stack from gosu/guidewire to go/javascript/c++. It's going from insurance to defense so I'm assuming job security is about the same. Though my current job is probably slower moving and less challenging, don't feel like I'm learning much at this point, but I also don't mind just relaxing if there's a good future here.
Current with 2 YOE:
Large Insurance Company in Texas (MCOL)
- $115k TC
- Gosu/Guidewire (marketing as Java since it runs on JVM)
- 99% remote currently
- Company announced RTO starting late 2027
Offers Received:
Small defense contracting / tech company in Alabama (MCOL)
- $125k TC
- Go, JavaScript, C++
- Hybrid, 4 days onsite
- Security clearance
Large semiconductor supplier / servicer in California (HCOL)
- $150k TC
- Tcl/Tk
- Hybrid, 3 days onsite
Goal: To keep working in tech for like 10 years (ideally remote but times are rough)
Background: I started job hunting 2 months ago when my company announced future RTO. I started out just spamming remote roles but I never heard back, so I started applying to in person roles as well for practice. I got lucky with offers so now I'm wondering if I should actually take the defense opportunity for growth.
Honestly if I could get the same offers in a year then I would rather just relax remotely, but I don't know if I'll be able to. I could also just cope that my company won't seriously enforce RTO and won't lead to 5 days in office but we've seen how that works out. I would just keep applying for remote roles from now on, but that got mentally draining when a company was offering 130k remote and then said the position was cancelled after 2 rounds. But maybe I have a chance if I keep upskilling for a year? I would zone in on showing that I'm good with the tech stack of java spring boot, typescript react, sql, aws with projects.
