My mom did this when I was in HS, her office also is by Columbus Circle but back then she would take the Chinatown Bus and eventually Bolt. The overall work experience was fine but her home life got chaotic very quickly. She never knew where anything was, did she leave it in NY or was it in DC. She would leave Tuesday morning and come back Thursday night. She doesn't not recommend it if you absolutely love DC, which was her rationale, but it weighs on you. If you're not staying overnight I imagine some of that is mitigated since you always come back home.
