I finally had a job interview where I felt that it went very well and I'm optimistic about improving my situation! I don't technically have an offer yet but I'm anticipating one! The only downside is it would be almost an hour-long commute so I am considering moving. I'm currently weighing the pros and cons and I'm stressed and wondering if this is really what I want. What are some of the most important things you weigh in these situations?

Two hours per day is a pretty massive commute. If you're very excited about the job and think it could really lead to something great, it's definitely worth potentially relocating. Especially if it's going to save you upwards of 8 hours per week, which is basically another day of unpaid work per week.

That's a long commute, though we have a way of getting used to things like that. Podcasts and audiobooks make commuting interesting if not pleasurable. If you get the new job and you love it, you might as well move also.

Definitely good to consider. Thank you!

My new job is also far and that will take 2 hrs commute for just 18k raise. Is that worth it?

For me, there’s no way I could justify that amount of time commuting. But only you know your personal situation and perhaps this is what you need right now, regardless of the time constraints re: the extended commute. Good luck!

For me, I’d weigh things like work-life balance, costs, and long-term growth, if I am getting that even though the commute looks stressful, I'd take the job.

Feeling like I’ve been “bait-and-switched”…

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.
