I’ve done both commutes from Seymour. You’ll make a short drive to Bridgeport to catch metro north. Bridgeport is great because they have a few express trains that only stop in Stamford. Train ride will be about an hour and twenty. I hope your job is near grand central because if not, it will become unmanageable. The drive from Seymour to west Hartford should be about 45-50 minutes. I agree with others that said you’ll want to be in a town along route 8.
