That's a long commute which could really eat into your social life. I don't know anyone who commutes that far that wouldn't prefer it to be shorter.

Second that

I had a very similar commute a few years ago. Personally, I think it depends on your transportation options. I had to take the LIRR, so the seats were roomier than your usual subway carts and I was able to catch up on some sleep/work if I needed to. Obviously this would be harder if you’re driving a car lol. Either way, I personally very much enjoyed these long commutes. It becomes a sacred time for you to be present with yourself and it was very much a sanctuary for me. I also discovered my love for podcast during this time which was a super plus.

My main takeaway from this experience: you gotta do what you gotta do. Once you get in the groove of things, you don’t really think twice about it. You also learn there’s a whole lotta people (than you would think) who reverse commute, so it’s a nice little secret/sub community. There’ll be days where it’ll suck, sure, but do whatever gets you to your next goal you know?

Thanks! I think it’d really enjoy the time to chill out and separate my work mindset from my home mindset

I do. It’s really not that bad, most of the traffic is around the bridge/tunnels but that depends where you’re coming from and when. Otherwise it’s usually a straight shot out of the city. If the job is worth it, I would let that deter you

Audible?

That’s a long ass commute

Job base salary presented by HR during screening interview was $130-$145k. I have 3-5 years more experience and more education compared to the posting requirements (BA required, I have a MS). I love the position and what it entails, but was hoping to reach $150-$160 base salary. If offered the position, is this a reasonable ask? This is for big pharma, data analytics in New England.

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
