WC 1M Post Challenge - You Ready?!

re: WPC 10K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

Is it a good sign when you apply for a job and they call you back within 2 hours? Also - what's the consensus on how far is the maximum commute in a car?

I think that depends on what they told you?

For me personally a distance up to 70 km I can live with. Under 30 minutes would be better. Both counted for one way. For the job I begin next week I'll have less than 10 minutes by bike, that's perfect ;-)

I'm going to meet my brother now. Have a good lunch everybody!

Nearer is better but this job is good experience of rebranding a company for a month and it's about an hour's commute. They rang to check my salary expectancy and the commute distance.

You're in the Midlands are you not? Which direction is your commute? North, south, east or west?

Personally if they pay you well I'd just go for it.

Yeah I'm in the midlands. They want me to commute south to Meriden, between Birmingham and Coventry.

That could be a pain if the traffic is bad, unless you can get a train. Still if the experience is worth it and the pay is good I'd go for it. You're next job after that could be even better.

You would be shocked at some of the pay packages I've had. I was just saying that if the pay is better it's worth the travel.

re: WPC 10K Post Challenge - You Ready?!

I've just worked out that it could cost me about ?16 a day to commute. That's about 2 hours work to cover the daily commute. Hmm.

I don't get great pay just above minimum.

That's pretty crap. No chance to change?

Is that two hours a day or week?

The quoted pay is between ?9-15 an hour, so assuming the minimum it's just under 2 hours a day to get the commute fee back.

I'm looking for somewhere closing to home or at a previous place I volunteered at for 2 years and I want to leave the current place the manger and I don't see eye to eye.

Aim high. Don't ever settle for the low end. Put yourself in the middle range at the very least.
