Jack was recently offered a job with a salary of $160k a year. He was also offered that he could work from anywhere without having to be in office but he still rejected that offer. It would suggest that he is very happy with his current job.
Is the use of would correct? Is would in the sentence tentative?
Top answer
I think the use of would is correct in your context. In regards to the second part, you can consider it tentative, because the speaker doesn't' really know at the end of the day, and he knows that he doesn't know for certain. Although the speaker doesn't really know for sure, to me, I wouldn't consider it really tentative on the speaker's level, because the job news that he has heard about Jack made him tend to believe that Jack is very happy with his current job.
