I always judged new jobs by including the commute time into it. Hence if I could shave a lot off my commute I would consider less income.

However prior to COVID19 I was on two to three days at home for the past few years so adopting to everyday at home has been easy.

In a way I see my commute hours being productive as free time at work, meaning I can knock stuff out without feeling obligated to reply to emails; because I am not "really" at work yet.

Yeah, I did the same when I bought my house.... made sure I was only 10 minutes away from where my office and many other tech offices were.

I was always shocked at how many people were willing to spend 50 hours a month driving just to save $500 on rent... is your tone really only worth $10 an hour?

Now, I am totally screwed because I pay more and no one commutes anyway.
