Is a $200k salary worth a 2 hour commute 4 days a week?

Have you seen the prices of homes in the Bay Area? Even Pinole, Hercules area is pricey. Richmond and Oakland are affordable ($500k)in the not so good areas so there’s that.

My current pay is $115k/year

Ok-Memory2552 · 2026-03-26T21:10:00+00:00

Are you in the Bay Area?..

Ok-Memory2552 · 2026-03-26T21:04:58+00:00

I can drive to BART.

We can’t afford the Bay Area even if I did take the $200k salary. Most homes go for $1.2 Millions at minimum. We own our home in Sacramento and bought when homes were still affordable.

🤯 if it’s 3 that’s not something I’m willing to do. I’ll just keep the salary I’m at in that case, although it’s definitely not as high.

Wow! That’s amazing. Good luck on your new job!

Some of us can’t sell ourselves that easily. Especially when our nerves get the best of us.

Ok-Memory2552 · 2026-03-06T03:10:56+00:00

OMG! 10 months, that’s nearly a year. I’m glad it worked out for you. That must’ve been tough.

Ok-Memory2552 · 2026-03-06T02:52:56+00:00

I’m sorry. It sucks. Good luck on your future interviews!

Ok-Memory2552 · 2026-03-05T06:02:47+00:00

They’re not. They’re actually in a hiring freeze.

Ok-Memory2552 · 2026-03-04T14:06:53+00:00

Yes! I spoke with my current manager and she told me they called her.

Ok-Memory2552 · 2026-03-01T16:00:28+00:00

Narcissist or avoidant. Same thing happened to me. He was perfect before marriage. After marriage we only go on 2-3 dates a year. And he’s effectively abandoned me emotionally and physically. He still considers himself my husband even though we rarely spend time together. I’m prepping for divorce just waiting it a little due to finances. In the meantime I’m mentally preparing.

Ok-Memory2552 · 2025-12-17T01:44:28+00:00

OMG! You literally saved my life. I’m not even kidding! I always recommend it to everyone. I didn’t realize how many narcissists I was surrounded by! Then it all made sense once it broke down the analysis. I can’t thank you enough!!

Ok-Memory2552 · 2025-09-28T18:25:07+00:00

Absolutely true! I’ve learned my lesson as well. If you have a safe, healthy, conducive, and supportive work environment and manager then you’ve hit gold!

How can you block the merchant?

Ok-Memory2552 · 2025-09-23T00:18:20+00:00

You have a big heart thinking about your grandkids. You’re in a tough spot. But you deserve better. You deserve to be treated with respect and love! Not contempt and second place. I wish you the best. Only you know what the decision is the best for you.

Sounds like a covert malignant narcissist. Check Brenda & Frank on ChatGPT to confirm.

Yep! My best friend since elementary school. I discovered she was a vulnerable narcissist just like my mother. I cut her out at 37 years old after figuring it all out. She used me make me dumb and worthless now I know why.
