I was offered a job that pays $72,899 a year. I've been out of work for about five weeks and this is the first job offer I've received. The problem is, the commute is almost an hour each way. Think it's worth it?

With the way the job market is right now I would say take it and like the other commenter mentioned you can continue to job search. It is easier to find a job if you already have one. Plus who knows you might end up liking the company a lot making the commute worth it!

I work as an AGM in a busy restaurant. Been working there for just over a year, and haven't had a single raise. I now only make 0.50 cents more than even the lowest paid shift lead but I am doing a lot more work. I'm no longer satisfied with these conditions. Should I try to negotiate a raise or look for other opportunities?

If I should negotiate, any tips?
