My company is going through a merger right now and the closest new office is an hour away with good traffic, 2 hours with bad traffic. I make too much money now to find an easy job to apply and switch to nearby without taking a severe paycut. What should I do?

If you make a lot of money, your job is probably at risk with the merge. They won’t need all of the people from both companies and the highest paid people are an easy way to improve their profit margin. Start looking.

if it’s just the pay the.yes move, commuting really guts your work life balance.
Also take your time in seeing what’s out there.
If it’s a job you have been at for a while, sometimes we get pushed in an uncomfortable direction to take a new path in our careers. Don’t rush a decision for a place u will spend 8+ hours every day.
Commute, look for (job opportunities), check out new places by the new location and see which one excites you more.
