Career decision guide
Is a higher salary worth a longer commute?
A salary increase can disappear once transport, meals, relocation and lost time are included. Compare the incremental gain, not just the new gross salary.
Price the time
A longer commute is recurring unpaid time. Decide whether the extra money compensates for what that time displaces.
Include future value
A harder commute can still be rational if the role materially improves skills, network, progression or future earning power.
Test the exit route
Ask how easy it would be to reverse the decision if the commute or employer turns out worse than expected.
A guide can frame the decision. Your actual context changes the answer.
Sulog can use your evidence, constraints and current options to make the next step more specific.
