I’m contemplating the move back to WB B from NB A but my guess is it’s going to cost me $100k a year. Still, all that time off is mighty appealing.

Historically, WB B in-base reserve has been known as the place to be for time off. For those in the know (and willing to share), is this holding true, and is your guess that it will continue for the foreseeable future? From the outside looking in, it's hard to tell if the productivity efforts being exercised in the NB world have WB parallels eroding that QOL too.

I think one of the best ways to check the working smarter not harder is by figuring out your "effective" hourly rate. How many hours blocked vs gross pay on your paycheck. I am sure there are WB Bs who are making north of $800/hr playing the reserve GS game.
