You would hate your life and want your current job back.
Commuting sucks, period. Anything over 15mins is worth at least 50k more.
You are also forgetting you would need to waste another 15-30 mins to get ready for work. Time you would never get back.
Find another WFH job and just double up.

LOL, that's a ridiculous sense of entitlement. The median salary doesn't even pay much more than 50k total.
Assuming a 1 hour commute over 220 work days each year, that 50k comes out essentially getting paid $227 per hour.
If I'm getting paid $227 per hour to drive around I'll do it all day, wherever you want.

Entitlement? Or perhaps you've been trained all your life that companies shouldn't be paying for your actual time.
Time is money and it is something you will never get back in your lifetime.
The OP essentially only getting paid $375 per week (or $75/day) more. He/she can easily earn that without commuting that much. Op is wasting roughly 2hours each day on commuting and preparation. Not to mention the cost of the devaluation of the car.
Give me a break on this "entitlement" bullshit

Uhhh, the only training that's relevant here is elementary level math. In your original comment you told a dude earning 42k a year he should refuse to drive more than 15 minutes for anything less than a 50k raise (more than double his salary, presumably based on a 40hr work week).
If you are really living the "time is money" ethos, you may want to revise your calculation.

18 000 / 12 / 4 = $375 per week (assuming he's getting paid bi-weekly)
I mean that's a rough estimate, but give or take the tax deductions, gas for the commute. He'll be taking home a lot less than that.
LOL, so what exactly is your point of argument? That OP shouldn't value their time and just salve away at work?

THIS COMMENT IS WHAT I"M ADDRESSING. That you willfully keep arguing numbers from OPs actual situation instead of defending your above position is enough to tell me you realize how ridiculous an assertion it was. I understand this is the internet where nobody can ever admit to being wrong about something, even when they know they are. So...we agree to disagree, I guess.

Bruh.... I've been talking about the delta between the new job vs old job all along.
The difference between the pay is such minimal that you didn't think about how ridiculous your antics is/was.
You obviously didn't calculate the gas it'll cost the op to drive everyday and other commuting necessities.
At the end of the day, I wouldn't doubt the OP is only taking home additional $100 each week.
>I understand this is the internet where nobody can ever admit to being wrong about something
Yes, you are correct here. You are clearly wrong in this case.
