How long is everyone's commute? Mine is an hour and fifteen minutes each way, without traffic, and it's starting to kill my soul.

WFH, but when I didn’t, my upward limit was 30 minutes. I would suggest audiobooks for that commute. It doesn’t have to kill your soul if you can turn it into entertainment or a learning opportunity.

my 1st job was 38 mile drive both ways. i worked for an investment company. thankfully my work hours were that of the stock market, early PST.
did not feel it, until i got a job closer to home, 10 miles and regular traffic.

start looking.. there are opportunities closer to home.

I did hour each way for a year now I do one day a week at 30 mins each way. An hour was costing any time with my family on work days so I made the change and haven't regretted it yet.

When I go into the office it’s probably similar. I’m not driving the whole time though, I take a train and walk a little bit. I only do it 2-3 days a week.

Some days, 20 steps, some days 4 miles.

That's tough. One of the trade-offs to working in a bigger city. Hopefully, you are gaining some good experience so you can get another roll that lets you get some of your time back.

I feel you. Mine is 3.5-4 hours round trip.

Damn. I'm sorry. That DFW Metroplex is huge.

15 mins one way.

4 miles, takes 20 minutes, thanks not to traffic, but to traffic lights.
