Note: I will be staying at this job until I find another one.
Although my job is good, I hate the commute. I live in the suburbs and my job is in the city. I know plenty of people who do this kind of commute, but it’s been so draining. The trains are reliable like 70% of the time and 30% not reliable when there’s signal issues or whatever the hell it is.
Driving is an option, but the traffic going to the city could take me 2 hours one way then my company doesn’t offer free parking ($12/day). I go in the office M-F 5 days a week. The pay is good, but the train price is $261/month and $80 for parking.
I tried looking for towns nearby to live closer, but I hate being in or around the city. Too crowded, too much traffic, no thanks. I am a suburb person and I don’t think I’d ever like living in/around the city.
I plan on putting this job in my resume (will be staying until I find something else) because it will help with looking for the same position but just nearby. Am I making the wrong call?
