New Job Offer...Thoughts?

Essentially equal pay and advancement opportunities. New job would add about 45 minutes to my commute each way, but would also give me the chance to travel internationally (currently only national).
Would you add more time to your commute for the chance to travel outside the U.S.?

Nope, not unless moving closer was a good option
Eta: also depends on current commute time

I see nothing but downsides unless you just desparately want to travel abroad.

A week or so. And from what I've gathered, mainly Europe and major parts of Asia.

An extra 7.5 hrs a week on the road for the same money? I'd probably pass. How many international trips, how long and where to?

Since you won't get a raise you're basically getting a slight pay decrease due to buying more gas.

Gas would be paid for. Probably should have said that in OP.
Posted on 11/18/14 at 11:50 pm to AbitaFan08
How often would you travel?

At least once a month.

my bad. I'm fairly tempted to take the job. The air miles alone would be awesome

Damn, not sounding too bad

Hell no thats a horrible tradeoff. Plus all the energy of learning new position, names, politics, etc.
Really a bad idea if the pay increase isn't at least 15%.

Unless traveling overseas means you get time to go exploring, there is absolutely nothing great about spending more time on a damn airplane.

Business class to Hong Kong.
Hell yeah.
Hell yeah.

Assuming current job has a 15minute commute, that makes the new job an hr minimum commute. Screw that for same pay.
