Living in Norwich, but commuting into London once per week?

I have been offered a new job in London, paying around £7k/year more than my current job in Norwich, and I think it will be a great experience to help be gain new skills, and finally a small amount of line management experience.

The plan in my head would be to do this role for 2-3 years, and then possibly look for work back in Norwich at a higher level than I am doing now.

I love living in Norwich however, and being close to my friends and family. It's my home, and the place I want to stay in.

This new job also offers a chance to finally get into the property ladder in Norwich, due to the higher salary. My commute plan would be to catch the train at 6:48am in Norwich, arrive at work by about 9:20am. Then catch the train home at around 4:30pm, and arrive back in Norwich at 6:20pm.

Just wondering what opinions are on this kind of decision?

Go for it. It's your chance to get ahead in terms of career and property ownership.
