40 miles is absurd for the majority of metropolitan areas.

That is easily a 1:30hr commute, one way. Depending where your office is, 4 hours a day of commuting..




I used to commute 1.5-2 hours a day for 6 years since I was a junior after the recession and had no options. Nowadays as a highly valued senior, no fucking way.


My pre-pandemic commute was 40 miles, including three interstate highways, averaging 2hours each way, sometimes up to 3hours when busy. Did that one for 10 years.

Took remote work as soon as company offered it and will never go back to the commute.
