Fuel prices are creeping up again and I felt it this week driving between appointments. It sounds small, but it made me realise how quickly costs stack up in field... When you look at new roles, do you factor in these real day-to-day costs into salary decisions more seriously?

Do you mean like with commuting? Not really, because I wouldn't ever join a company where simply getting there was a significant cost to be accounted for. If I was out in the field, then yes, I totally understand why you'd need to.

I think that makes sense for office roles. For field roles though, I always factor it in because travel is part of the job and the costs add up quickly.

I was just talking about this today. The last time I filled up was about two weeks ago, and it cost around $40. I filled up today, and it was $60 total. The prices of gas have gone up immensely.

I noticed the same jump recently. It feels small at first, but when it happens repeatedly it starts to influence how I think about salary and overall job value.
