Currently 3.8 miles, with about 6 stops on a bad day - about 10 minutes. For 6 months on an IT contract I did a 120-mile commute each way almost daily mostly on I-80, so right about 2 hours. I wouldn't recommend over an hour each way for the long-term, and only if it's a really good deal and you can't/don't want to move for some reason.
OT: How long is your commute?

- Start date
From my living room chair to the bath room it’s only about twenty steps. I beat that path back and forth more times a day than Trump tells a lie. Keeps me busy though.
I think I am the original virtual employee. I started working for a company in SoCal in 1991. I remember using a product named Eudora Pro to dial into one of the original ISP and download my emails. It was the same line I used for voice so I'd disconnect after downloading my emails and then make my calls.
I love it.
I love it.
44 miles each way, one hour drive if I "left shift" my day and there are no incidents along the way. This time can ratchet up quickly. My 2015 Challenger R/T and Howard Stern makes the commute bearable. Fortunately, I can usually work from home 1-2 days/week.

10 minutes up this road (A1A). Sorry everyone.
Yes exactly 50 miles and takes 75 minutes
7 years
Wishing the last year telecommuting periodically has become an option
Only time drive is bad is when I want to get somewhere personably
But on most days it’s my ramp up and decompression time
Did the commute from Cheater County - via Spetic from the Malvern station for years - really started to hate people and Septa more and more every day - now work from home when not on the road - saved my sanity I think even though the Wife disagrees.
Used to go Reading area to king of Prussia back in the day. 55 minutes normally, 1:15 bad day. Ot’s Like a waste of life unless you can be productive on the phone during those hours. Also worth it short term if positives like a lot more money or opportunity are involved, but you WILL TIRE of it in 2 yrs or less. Also experienced it on the hiring end. Oh that commute is no problem. 2years or less, need to work out of house or gone.
I’m at 35 miles and 45 minutes depending on traffic. Made a conscious choice to get far enough outside Columbus to afford the property I wanted, so no regrets. I can’t even keep up with all the podcasts I like to listen to, so it doesn’t feel like wasted time to me, it’s my relaxing time usually.
4 miles that takes 10 to 12 minutes depending on the other folks that I share the roads with.
Used to do it in 8 minutes but the local gendarmes had other ideas.
Earlier jobs had anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour. Didn't matter if I was driving, van pool, or public transportation (the T in Pittsburgh's south hills). When I got my current job, much less stress and my c company gets the benefit of extra Dibbs time because there is no commute hassle.

51 miles one way, 65 minutes three days a week, 103 miles one way, 115 minutes two days.
Been on the road like that the last five years and it’s funny how the short commute days feel like I’m getting a break, I get to leave at five-fifty instead five.
I hate the spring and autumn fog more than the winter weather.

Sounds familiar. 23 miles, 39 minutes, two lane roads, but only 5 stoplights. Maybe too many 40 mph roads are the difference. Bucks County to Hunterdon County, NJ
Used to be @ 5 minutes when I was teaching. Now it's walking down stairs to the main floor of house to the den.
I do travel to customers and prospective customers. Around 200 miles a week.
My HS FB coaching position is 27 miles away.
If anyone is a purchasing agent and need packaging materials, we could meet at a FB game in the Happiest of Valleys and talk business. Accountant said he'd find a way to write the 372 miles off taxes!!

About 25 miles. But I typically only go to he office on Monday. Ride in takes about 35 minutes. Ride home is about 50 minutes. And that’s taking back roads. Main roads would be well over an hour
Other days I’m on the road. Can travel anywhere from 25 miles to well over 100.

Yep. Berkeley Springs WV to Martinsburg WV. 55 MPH roads the whole way except for one town which goes down to 35. Not much traffic and no cops. WV is a state which will give you a good leavin' alone.
93 - my great aunt lived in Lewisburg most of her life.....and she lived to be 105. Almost lived in three different centuries before she passed in 1999.
When a kid, I would play in the cemetery across from the laundromat a block or two from the Bucknell campus. In later years when back from Chicagoland for a PSU game I would often spend Sunday visiting with her.
My grandparents lived in Williamsport, probably drive Rt 15 100+ times over the years. Spent parts of first and second grade there while my Dad was in the Air Force in Iceland and Germany.
Beautiful country.....loved the drive from State College to Lewisburg!

CF - Just a thought.....if you can’t work remotely, see if they would be agreeable to a four day work week.
In addition to the day off, the four days you commute would put the morning and / or evening commutes outside the “normal” rush hour traffic.
Just my $.02.....good luck!

about 15 yards from bedroom to recliner in the den. add another 5 if i go to the computer room first
.
Same. And after doing it for 5+ years, I’d have a hard time ever going back to an office five days/week.
My Dad's business was right across the highway from the entrance to White Deer. Industrial tools/supplies.
