roughly 1/2 hr commute right now, this would be adding to it, so a little over an hour each way.
yes, driving a car. not quite 30mpg, but pretty close.
it's doubtful anything would come up closer than this, at least at that pay rate. it also looks to be more interesting than my current position and at a company that has some neat perks and atmosphere.
@frankh - that's the exact thing i'm hoping i won't come to. gouging out my eyes....i'm not a fan of driving, but other than that piece, it seems a great fit. this would also be about a 30-40% increase rather than your 20, so maybe that will help keep my eyes inside my head. :-)
thanks for the replies. looks like i should plan on the cost increase at least 4-5K in my figures.
