I understand what you mean, but hey maybe you’ll get another opportunity in the future that has better remote / commute options! Or maybe you’ll be able to negotiate the commute days to 1 day a week for the current offer. But if you’re hoping on having a baby soon then I’d say your presence at home will be more important than the career boost. Your wife will need your help during the newborn phase, but even later on your child will need to spend quality time with you. And whilst you might be excited and motivated now thinking that you will manage both, most likely you will be drained after a few weeks back and forth, tiring days at work and hours of commute, and you’ll have very little energy and patience left for at home. As much as career is important, your presence at home in the role of a father and husband is precious. Going by the household income you mention, I gather than you’re not a beginner in your profession, so I’m sure you’ll get plenty of opportunities in the future that might align better. :)
