It depends on how you are with driving. My wife hated her 20 minute commute, I was fine with my 45 minute commute. But for a 45% increase in pay, it's absolutely the right choice IMO

I enjoy being 40-50 minutes out, but I am also flexible on my office time. 8-4, 9-5, 10-6,. So I stagger my time around rush hour and it's a nice morning audiobook with thinking time.

Sorry if it’s off topic but how do you calculate the percentage increase?

New pay minus old pay, then divide that by the old pay. That will tell you how much higher %-wise the new pay is

I find new/old-1 to be so much easier to follow.

I wasn't trying to be precise, but to find the proper percentage, you could just divide the new salary by the old salary and then subtract 1.

60 ÷ 42 = 1.428

1.428 - 1 = .428, which is 42.8% just under my rough estimate of 45% hope that helps!
