That's not how the job market is right now. There's like 5 companies in the world that can compete on compensation while allowing remote work with meta.

I would take a lower comp for remote work and a better work environment. They will never pay me the amount that would make me choose 2h in traffic everyday instead of having enough time to cook breakfast to my family, take my kids to school, have lunch with my wife, etc.

Every time I hear U.S. commute times, I keep thinking they must be grossly overstated.

How is your infrastructure so inadequate for... living?

		They're overstated. The median commute time in the USA is about 27 minutes each way. NYC is the highest at 33 min.
