[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Laid off several months ago, navigating a terrible job market in my late 40s. Finally have an offer for a decent job, but the commute is terrible. At least an hour of heavy interstate traffic each way, potentially longer in the evening. I’ve been working from home for five years, so this will be a huge adjustment. After six months, I can do two days a week from home, but I’m still questioning whether doing this drive three days a week is even sustainable. We will be fine financially if I don’t take it, but I like working. With the job market the way it is, I’m afraid I’ll never have a job again if I don’t take this one. (Unless I completely pivot to a new field, but I don’t even know what that would be.) The longer I’m out of work, the more useless and isolated I feel. What would you do?[/quote] Live where you want to, work where you have to. An hour commute in traffic is nothing. It’s podcast time.[/quote]
