[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would explore the Frederick job and related commute a bit more. I am now fully WFH, but pre-pandemic I used to have a commute against traffic (MoCo to Columbia) and it obviously makes a huge difference. It would take me the same amount of time to go 30 miles as it did to go 8 miles to my previous job in DC. I don’t know if commuting up 270 would be strictly against traffic, especially near Urbana and nearing Frederick, but something to think about. [/quote]

Thanks - I actually tested out the Frederick commute a couple of times last week during morning rush hour and it was about 30 minutes, even with a little more traffic as I neared Urbana.  The job I'm considering is right off of the exit.  In comparison, last Tuesday, my commute to/from D.C. took me close to two hours each way[b]  :cry: .  I think with all of the work from home opportunities, many people are using Monday to work from home so there is a ton of traffic for those people who go in Tuesday.  After two years of working from home, it was extremely frustrating and such a time suck.[/quote]

I'm really surprised by this.  I take almost the same route as you- from Rockville to two blocks from Penn Avenue down 270.  It has never taken me more than an hour, and I average 35 minutes in the morning.
I wonder what times you are on the road and whether you are taking a really odd route downtown once you get off 270?[/quote]
