    I recently received a job offer that would more than double my current salary, jumping from $90k to $198k (including base and bonus). The role is hybrid, requiring me to be in the office 2-3 days a week, and it has significant growth potential. However, the downside is the commute, which is 1 hour and 45 minutes each way by car. While the traffic usually isn't too bad, I'm concerned about the time spent commuting and how it will affect my work-life balance. I've been working hard in my current job for almost five years, and this opportunity feels like a big step forward. I'm contemplating whether the salary increase is worth the long commute and if I should consider moving closer to the office to make it more manageable.
