Your ultimate decision is up to you. Other people have had good suggestions about how to weigh whether the job is worth the commute, so I won’t repeat that.
All I can say is that, on the occasions when I have to go into DC and fight that horrible traffic, I wonder why anyone willingly subjects themselves to that nightmare every day.
I agree with you. I’ve done that commute just enough times to know beyond all shadow of doubt that there’s absolutely no way.
I wonder if it might be worthwhile to find a friend with a couch or spare room 1-2 night a week. That might relieve the stress enough to make the commute palatable
