Not necessarily a dream job, but a job that paid well, treated you respectfully and allowed you to work with pride. Oh and have a true work life balance, so that you could raise your children and pursue interests in peace. I am looking for realistic life inspiration for myself!
I joined without a boss and that role was filled in April. Things have gotten extremely intense since my boss joined and I haven’t hit the very aggressive goals, that honestly seem unrealistic. I took a huge paycut for this job, over 50% thinking it would be worth it for lower stress. But it actually fe…
Yes, your resume matters, but it’s not the magic key. Too many job seekers spend weeks tweaking bullet points while ignoring the bigger picture: Are you applying to the right roles? Are you networking? Are you tailoring your applications?

Having dealt with long commute travel with my work because of being transferred, I can offer some advice to help the OP in deciding whether to accept the job offer. Make sure that the financial offering is compensating you for the time spent commuting in terms of the costs you would be spending to get there—remember that time spent commuting is part of your active day and cuts drastically into your personal time not spent at work. Also make sure that when you are off work, you will not be expected to respond to any work related issues in any form when clocked out on your days off.. Obviously you have not found a similar job offering closer to your current housing situation which is why you are looking for an opportunity that requires a travel commute. Also consider alternative methods to get to this job location, that don’t require ( public transportation options) to help avoid the additional stress of driving ( which most times involves driving in heavy traffic and not the best option despite the prevailing opinion of feeling that you control your travel commute) Take it from one who commuted for 15 years, you, the OP, would rather leave the driving seat to another and free that commute time for preparing for work and distressing from work so that when you are home you only deal with your personal life. If you can get financial compensated for the commute, it is worth considering. Remember that the trend today is in person work and less compensation is given if you’re looking for a WFH option, despite current perceived preference by employees for WFH. Again it all depends on your overall career path plan, because WFH has become the new version of what was previously known as the “mommy alternative “and is no longer a gender biased designation for slowing down your career path. I am not saying WFH is a negative option but I am emphasizing that that the decision to take a job opening offer has many factors than just right now effects. Chose what works best for your financial benefit especially if you financially need to have a job to support yourself and pay your necessity bills.

I had a commute that was similar for a few years, and I regret that period of my life. So much time and energy was wasted just being in transit and being stressed from it. Hybrid would make it better, but unless there’s something especially compelling about the position, I personally wouldn’t do it.
