If no, what amount would you need to be paid?

1.5 each way?

Yes
---

I have to travel that far to get to pretty much any job, and they're always min wage

So yes
---

yes, if the job wasn't miserable and/or dead end
i basically did this for two years to start my career and grew immensely from it afterwards
---

No, that's a lot less than I make now with a 20-30 min commute

Yes

haha fuck that no
---

Fuck no that's a huge pay cut and quadruple my current commute.

lol no
---

No, I make more than double that with a commute that is 1/3 as long.
---

tc btw, if this is a situation you're in currently, even if it's double the amount of salary you make now I'd still not do it.
It's fine for a few weeks but it does take its toll on you very quickly
---

You would need to pay me ten times that much for me to accept such a long commute.
---

I've done it before but no I wouldn't do that now. My commute is 3 minutes and I make more than that.

---

That's around what I'm on now but it takes me 15 minutes to walk to work, so no way.

---

If it was a positive move for my career, sure.
---

Since I dont drive is this an hour and a half walking? Dont know why Im asking cause either way fuck no. I almost make that now and I walk 15 minutes to work.

I did it (NYC) for $40,000 for 9 years. In retrospect I wasted so many cumulative hours of my life.
---

i make much more than that working at home
---

Yes and make plans to move closer.

---

9x the commute time for almost the same amount of money I make now?

No thanks.

it depends where and what job.

I walk 15 min each way for a job that pays more but I hate it.

---

I already make more than that and usually work from home.

---

If it's a massive upgrade from your current job...then yes. Gain experience then try for something equal or better closer.
---

Lol an hour and a half is not that bad

Y'all are sheltered af
---

I don't believe so.

That's fucking horrible. Idk how anyone can handle something that's longer than 20 minutes.

---

I've dealt with long commutes in the past and they suck. I've never dealt with 90 minutes, that would really take a toll on me.

I would seriously look into moving closer if this was a really good fit for me with room to grow. Because $50k alone is not worth that commute unless it's your only option.

---

Yeah, the key is to make the job last 6~ a day
---

haha fuck that no

---

Do I live in the middle of nowhere in this scenario

because surely there are comparable jobs much closer to me otherwise

Yep, anyone who doesn't spend 3+ hours a day commuting is "sheltered".
---

Would I take a giant paycut to triple the length of my commute? No.
---

Depends on what the job actually is and where. 50k is a massive pay raise for me.
---

We talking gross or net?

Gross
---

Would have to be net

I ask myself this question a lot. Im 90min outside a major city where i could probably get an extra $30k/yr if i really chased it

Id start seriously considering it for $140k

This makes no sense.

You guys know that people have to travel to and from countries daily to work?

Some people have 12 hour jobs, multiple jobs, physically demanding jobs etc and get paid way less than 50k but where ce draws the line is travelling extra couple of minutes to get to work

As I said, y'all sheltered

No

Depends on a lot of things; what type of job it is, how many days a week I have to work, how many work hours in a day, etc.
---

50k prr month?

---

Lol hell no

It depends on the job. If it's something I really want to do I'd do it for like 120ish. If it's something I dont mind doing but have to commute 15 hours a week, maybe 250.

If it's something that sucks itd be pretty high, like 400k, cause I'm probably only gonna do it for a year or so

Yeah fuck that indeed. I cant even stand driving 45 minutes to work.

Some people dont mind commuting, others hate it.
