Your nice job offer will be offset by the financial and emotional cost of that commute. Don't do it.

I know this sounds stupid, but speaking from experience here a long or stressful commute can affect your mood big time.

I'm quitting a great job right now because it had me commuting from Baton Rouge to New Orleans: 150-miles round trip. The drive from BR to Kenner was about an hour. Then 30-40 minutes to downtown NOLA. Same thing headed home. I'd get to work aggravated and get home aggravated. It was affecting my mood at all times and I felt like I was inadvertently taking it out on my wife.

Not to mention I was coming from a 30 minute (one-way commute) so I was spending at least 10 extra hours per week commuting. That's a lot of family time I was missing out on.
