I do 3 hours currently. It sucks but adding an extra hour would be doable.

I'm in Philly. I got offered around 60k to commute to Manhattan. Nah, not enough, plus my 04 tiburon aint about that life. Also, accepting that offer wouldn't allow me to work on my own business or to truly relax. For me to do it, cacs would have to offer me 70+. I'd take that 70+, put my social life on hold and stack. I'd rummage through my contacts to find someone to kick it with in NY for a couple days a week. Doing that drive everyday is not the move and would get old very quickly.

Around six months, I'd be coming back and using that experience to get more dough in Philly. Any one doing a commute like that for years is an idiot. Get that money, sure, but also have an exit plan.

But you have the option of that Acela train, you can doze off a little...but still some transportation cost you probably don't want to deal with..

You driving everyday or what?



I'm examining my options.....from the craziest to the most logical.... :francis:



Yeah I'm creating a chart now......trying to see if it makes sense lifestyle and money wise



I utilized commuter rail A LOT but I still had to leave at 4 am to make it to work by 8 am to have a buffer.

I would definitely look at shared commuting, car pooling, etc. if there's at least one other person going your way that may help.

The people doing it long term have drivers pick them up from the burbs and bring them home. They're making seven figures...

Nah, those people with the drivers are making mid-to- high six figures.

7 figure salary brehs are taking a heli to work
