In my case, I don't usually have those conversations with myself since I decided where I want to go with my career around two months ago, but I'd say it's based in skillset, experience and perks.
To elaborate, I'm barely 6-months in the software industry as a QA/Automation Engineer, and I am nowhere near the level of experience and skills I'd like to have if I want a higher-paying job, working from home.
I found a nice remote QA company a few weeks ago, which has also a focus in candidates who know test automation, and I tried applying for it, but I don't think I've made it. Thankfully, it's not like I'm being fired from my current job either, therefore, I plan to stay where I am working and acquire experience for a year or two.
So my roadmap so far, is to get rid of University and earn my CS degree, and as soon as that happens, earn at least 2 ISTQB certifications to boost my resume, while adquiring experience and the skills that come with my current position at my job, and then apply again for the remote QA company.
