I have an initial recruiter phone interview with Square Thursday. Is it it just a phone call or is it a video call and they didn’t specify. If it’s a video call what’s the dress code like? I’m coming from consulting so all my interviews were in suits. Any tips to get past the recruiter phone screen?

Ooof that is so tough. I would probably take the new offer though. I hate the commute but three days a week is better than five.
That's a no brainer. More money, similar commute over all, plus more flexibility.
You’re telling me it takes 4 hours to get dressed an extra 2 days a week? 🤨
Would the new role offer career advancement or leadership exposure? If not, I'd first explore whether your current company could increase your salary by around $10K. You'd preserve your work-life balance and avoid adding about five extra hours of commuting each week. The added time, fuel cost, and stress could easily outweigh the pay difference unless the new position truly opens doors for your long-term goals. Wishing you all the best on whatever decision you decide.
Commute is a deal breaker for me. That’s so much time 3 days a week you’d be sinking. Not to mention late nights or when the company starts asking you to come in more often then that commute tacks on. Also compare health insurance imo. Can be a big hidden cost / benefit you don’t think about until later.
Any young kids? The commute would be a deal breaker for me because my husband already has a long commute and I wouldn’t want both of us being that far away if something were to happen.
