Didn’t take the job, dithered like crazy and left it to the last minute but declined solely due to the commute.
My family said they were glad but didn’t want to sound like they were stopping me.
I also recently bumped into an old colleague who does work there and lives near me, he leaves the house and 5.30am and get back 7.30 pm five days a week.
So I earn a little less but there’s still enough for cars and holidays etc so no hardship and my present commute is short, sometimes by bike or I work at home so the lifestyle balance is excellent.
Overall I’m happy with the decision.
edit: reading that back doesnt reflect how difficult the decison was, it was great job and I would really liked to have been part of the company but just couldnt make it work(this time!).
