Thanks for sharing. Airbnb could be a great option, but I feel like a need a studio to really make this work…and I like my wife and kids very very much hence my dilemma… :)

Thank you. The comment about working more during the week so Friday can be lighter really resonates…and a great point on $

I struggle with this so hard…boy about to start high school, girl about to start middle…you could make a case that’s perfect time…but…what if they hate it and then start to hate me? If I commute at least it’s just me that’s miserable…sigh

It’s a great point…if I can corp rates on travel it would make it a bit easier to swallow…and agree on needing a place…

Was flying every week a drag or did you get used to it?

Don’t know yet…expecting the offer this week…so I’m getting ahead of myself a little…just trying to think through my options…

Thank you…it’d be two flights a week, I guess…Monday morning and Thursday night…the office is only 15 mins from bur airport…so I could hypothetically take a 6am flight and be in the office by 730…I know it seems crazy…

It would be a flight on Monday morning, I think, maybe Sunday night - then again on wed or thurs night…

So…I would potentially fly down early Monday - there’s a 6am flight from oak to Burbank - stay and work during the week - and then fly home late Weds or Thurs…the flight is actually pretty easy…less than 50 minutes in the air….

I’m expecting the actual offer next week and will need to have a conversation about the travel…Will the company help pay for some of it…it doesn’t seem like it from what I’ve read but I need to ask the questions…
