Look at the bigger picture. I spend 1.5 hours per day commuting, but the higher pay means I have to work less.
High paying job, LCOL area: 6 months, 21 working days per month at 9.5 hours per day is 1197 hours per year.
Mid to low paying job, LCOL area: 11 months, 21 working days per month at 8.25 hours per day is 1905 hours per year.
It is a choice to make. Spend an extra hour each evening with your family or spend every other month completely with your family. The magic of geo-arbitrage.
