Before covid my job was a scenic, 22 minute drive from my home. I worked from home during covid, and afterwards took a new job in the city. I now take a 45 minute bus ride to work, so I spend 90 minutes a day commuting. I don't even get paid for that!

But whats worse, I'm looking at a new job this summer, it's a lot better pay, almost double, but its 1hr 20 minutes train from my home! The fares would cost almost 300€ a month too... but my employer will subsidize transportation costs.

Should I take this new job? How can I make the most of spending 16 hours a week on trains?
