If I’m working at the big 4 and considering relocating, how far should my commute be to the office? Is it worth paying the high rent or high house price to have a close commute? The move would be to Dallas, TX. I would think the more senior I get the less I would go in the office but things will probably change.

How often do you have to go in person?

~3x a week

While a commute stinks, if only going in 3x a week I would relocate if it meant better quality of personal life outside of work

If your work is near a train station, I think it would be a good idea to live further from the office but near a train station. The commute will be easier.
