Local, but 1 hour commute each way. Doable, or quality of life killer?

Depends on the kind of commuting. An hour on public transit or on a highway with no traffic is fine. An hour in stop and go traffic is soul sucking

That's really not terrible -- many people do 1h for their non consulting jobs

Depends on the hours of the project. If it's 8-6 then it's fine. If it's 7-10 it will suck

I do 90 mins one way stop and go traffic. It's absolutely horrible, but to me it beats being on a plane every week. Plus my team is okay with a remote day every other week or so which helps

One hour one-way not bad. Any more and it'd suck rotten eggs. I'd rather travel.

Borderline. It depends on the hours and on whether or not you can use the time effectively.
