My current commute to work is maybe 30 minutes by bicycle (I'll have it down to 15 by the end of the summer). I've got showers at work since the building has a gym, I have the luxury of bringing my bike indoors, and I've got a casual dress code. I ride in the rain when I have to, but it's not a big deal.
Were it not for these factors it would be more difficult.
A factor that is incredibly important to me is the location of my workplace in relation to where I live.
Before I was working at my current job (which rocks), I worked about an hour and ten minutes away from my apartment on a good day. On a bad day the commute could be a full hour and a half. Coupled with my job satisfaction, it really started to wear down on me.
It adds up, fast. Especially if you value your time.
So rather than take a job that pays well with a long commute, I'd rather take a job that pays decent, but that is more local. I really got sick of paying $X ammount of my salary just to GET to work in the first place. I've come up with a form that attempts to calculate this to demonstrate just how much of a chunk your commute can take out of your life.
As a shortcut, you can submit the form below.
