According to mapquest, its an hour and 45 miutes each way.
Now, thats without traffic. I'll have to drive through the WORST traffic area in the world (and yes, that is offical, between exit 117 on the GS Parkway and exit 127 on the parkway).
So I could be looking at 5 hours commute. I just also checked again, the payraise would be at least $5K.</strong><hr></blockquote>
I would actually make the drive. Mapquest told me that it would take 3 hrs and 45 min to get somewhere... it took me south then west then north east. major backtracking...so i looked at a map and got there in 3 hrs.
just a thought

I would look at your enjoyment of the job. If you think your going to REALLY like this new position, then go for it. I would rather work a low paying job that i enjoy then a high paying job i hate.
I would atleast go to the interview and see if i could squeeze more cash out of ehm to offset the travel time. Also is there the possibility of taking public trans?

Well, form where I am to there, if I were to take pub trans, it would cost me about $8K-$10K a year and would up my commute time to about 4-5 hours each way...
Right now I'm seriously looking into working in "The City" (New York). The commute would be about the same time to this network job, cost would be about the same, but I could take transit into the city and the train station is only about 10 miles away form where I live, no stress on my car.
I'm going to look into those jobs today, and talk to the Senior tech for the whole area today (who I'm in good with). Maybe something is "about to be open" and if I can get a $10K payraise, I'll go for it!
