Should I look for a new role?

So I know what you’re going to say get out of Ibm and join faang but here me out. So I’m 24 have been with Ibm a little more than a year. Joined straight out of school to a sales role I’m also a non tech major. I live in a warm (no snow) non tech hub area yet still expensive but not as bad as the bay obviously. I work 100% remote travel a ton and make around 140-150k TC. I’ve looked at other roles in my area that I meet the requirements for (both degree and experience wise) it doesn’t seem like any of them will ever come close to my current TC. Should I even bother with looking for a new role sure I’d love to work at faang but idk if it even makes sense for me to make the switch. I also dont want to move. Let me know what you think I should do?

100% remote and travel are killer perks. Stay if you love it. There's more to life than TC.

I want hirer TC though I just think I’ll get it elsewhere with my experience and tech skills.

Then apply. It doesn’t hurt.

If you're in an area with low living cost, just out of school, and a non tech major sounds like you're doing great. Do you like your job?

I’m not in a low cost of living area still high just not as high as Bay Area. Los Angeles .
