One hour each way or round trip?


1.5 hour each way gang reporting in


If you work a 230-day year, every ten minutes on your commute is over 38 hours of time. You're spending the equivalent of 17 work weeks in the car, or 37.5% of your 230-day work year.

That's a lot of time.


I take a bus. Canada pays too little for software to own both a car and a house

Can you get comped for working on the bus? Is it even possible? Commutes like this are really killer.


I did this for 6 months and was on the edge of what I could handle. God help you, and I hope you can swing remote!


That sounds absolutely miserable. Is your base comp like 350k or something?


Did a commute that took that long for a year, by rail. They really need to finish electrifying Caltrain.


It was 65k at the time. I live in Canada
