I’m debating whether to switch roles. I’m currently in-house at a large company with reasonable pay and good work, and a team I like. The main downside is a recent move to 5 days RTO, my commute is about 20 mins, not so bad.

I’m considering another role with slightly higher pay and a 2–3 day hybrid schedule, but the commute would be about 1.5 hours each way.

Which would you choose: a short daily commute with full-time office attendance, or a longer commute for greater flexibility?

I would stay in your current role. A 20 minute commute is nothing and when the economy crashes I think WFH is gone.

Thanks

Agree with A1. Can’t rely on new role remaining only 2-3 days in office. 3 hours commuting ruins your entire day. 40 mins is just a nice break IMO

Thanks

The new role said they can accept one day a week RTO.

I still don't think it's worth it.
