YABU - To consider 3days commute into London (80mins)
YANBU - Drive to Northampton 2x a week(80Mins) and save yourself train journeys
We are moving to Oxfordshire and I have a job offer @ Northampton which will be approximately 80mins driving each way but only 2days a week in the office.
DH wants me to take the job as it's just 2 days in the office. I am reluctant as I feel it might be too much driving for me but a great career move if I want to remain in my field (not passionate about it).
The alternative I am leaning towards is to remain with my company but look for an internal mobility(different field) in the London office. Commute will be same time but will involve walking, trains (2changes) and walking. Pay will be similar. However, I am expected 3 days in the office
We have 3 kids in primary school and it will require after school clubs on the days I am in the office. DH will always take them in.
The alternative would be to move to Wellingborough or Glasgow where commute will no longer be an issue. We have reserved a newbuild in Oxfordshire but not exchanged so can still withdraw and buy in Wellingborough or Glasgow (Same pay).
So will you drive and have control of your commute and do it just 2x a week (take holidays on days you are tired to spread out commute etc)?
Thank you
