You just got hired at a new job. They offer you 2 different payment options.

You are allowed to choose either payment option as you start work each day.

OPTION 1: You will earn $2000 each day

OPTION 2: You will earn $1 the first day, $2 the second day, $4 the third day, $8 the fourth day and so on.

On which day should you swap to option 2 to earn the most money possible?
