One store offered me minimum wage but another offered 75p more per hour, though it’s further away. I’m trying to figure out what matters more long term. Would you pick pay or location?

75p isn't a lot when you work out extra cost of commuting and your time. Work it out and see what you think works best.

smart

I'd do the math. How much more are you actually making after gas and/or transit costs? If the commute eats into that significantly, it's not worth it. If it doesn't and you can handle the extra travel time, take the money.

I would factor in the time as well. What kind of price would you put on an extra hour (or whatever the commute is) of your personal time a day?

Can you negotiate with the one that offered lower? See if they’ll match?

Yeah I think negotiate is maybe an option!

I don't think I would take a longer commute for 75 cents. However, you could try to get the first place to increase their offer. I would try to negotiate at the place that is closer to you.

Yeah I’m not to sure it’s gonna be worth it!
