Thinking of changing jobs. I love the work that I’m doing, it’s a nice place and the people are great (this isn’t how these threads normally start, is it?).
But 3.5 hours of commuting a day is killing me and I never feel like I’m on top of things at the weekend. The job’s also quite stressful. Family have started to comment that they’ve noticed a change in me as a result (shorter temper, etc).
Job has come up nearby. It’s at an ok place and not quite the role I’d choose. It would be a pay cut, although that would be offset by the shorter commute somewhat.
What do you guys think? I’m conscious that I changed jobs last because I wasn’t doing interesting work (using the logic that I spend more time at work than at home, so I might as well enjoy it!). This is kind of going the other direction.
