I have been offered another job in a law firm. I currently have a good title but work in a small high street firm, it is a 20 minute drive from where I live and is flexible and friendly. I like working here but there is a risk the owner is going to sell to another firm and this is very likely. I have been offered a job for £17k more but the commute is 50 minutes each way two days a week. It is more corporate but similar to what I am doing now. They seem to have more training opportunities. WDID?

Wondering if I’m making the right choice

If you use the pomodoro method for time focus and tracking, do you bill in those increments or just keep your billablr timer going the whole time? For example, I work in 25 minute increments for large projects then I get a break. Do I bill .5 for that increment and restart my billing or keep my billing continuously going thereby not rounding up for those 5 min? I have just kept my timer going.
