Denver folks - Is Golden too far for a commute to downtown business district? Everyone says it’s doable but I would like perspective from those subject to billable hours. I would love to move to Golden but wondering if this would negatively impact my billable hours.

Are you in office every day? Could you stagger office time to avoid peak rush hour?

Fwiw I think it’s doable and know folks who commute from Evergreen and farther. Feel free to DM!

You may hit some traffic on the way home but as long as you’re ok with that I wouldn’t let it deter you. I reverse commute that route 5 days/ week and just try to avoid peak rush hour (either 7-4 or 9-6). There are far worse commutes imo (eg DTC)

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
