Is commute from herndon(near frying pan road) to ft Belvoir or mead or crystal city or DC really bad? I have some offers but from Google maps it says up to 50 mins one way... not sure if it's too much... but the pay is decent
I do have ts sci with ci poly and have Java experience. Ideally maybe Reston, chantilly,herndon, Fairfax best spots...30 min or so commute. Looking around 200

Those are all quite different commutes. Herndon to Ft Meade will likely be closer to 75+ minutes once traffic is full back to normal, Herndon to Ft Belvoir is pretty variable day to day depending on if you take the parkway or the highway.

Crystal City and DC won't be too terrible, though you're going with traffic both ways so it can easily hit 60+ minutes with slow traffic days.

I think it depends on your job as well. If you think that you can take calls on the commute both ways then it might be ok. If not, then the real cost is your time not the travel expense (unless you’re paying high parking costs)

Herndon to Crystal city will easily take you 2 hours during rush hour.

I get train sick for some reason... I tried taking metro from Vienna to New Carrollton couple times and felt so nauseous. But it does seem even if the start time is flexible I am looking at 40 min one way most of the time... if the salary is not even the highest amongst choices and there are closer options maybe pass on it...?

50 min sounds right

I do the FT Meade to DC commute right now and it's 45 minutes in the morning around 7am and 1hr to 1:15hr in the afternoon.
Pre-covid, I would take the train because it was better than 3+ hours in traffic.

I'm now trying to get upgraded to full scope poly so I can work in FT Meade.

I have been doing the ft Meade to DC commute for 3 years now. I only have TS. I will need TS FSP to work in ft Meade. I'm trying to get it so I don't have to commute to DC. I own a home around ft Meade.

BAH has some good work in Chantilly and AFS has some good work in Reston. How many YOE?

Yea doesn’t Booz have a large office in Herndon?

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
