<prompt> Human: Hi everyone,Im interviewing at a tech startup, and debating currently on a job offer. Theyre offering 10,000 more than what Im making now, 75,000 compared to my current salary of 65,000. However, with this new job Id be commuting down from Berkeley to Palo AltoMountainview. My current commute is Berkeley to SF Financial District, where I can take the train 30 minutes and dont have to deal with driving. With the new commute, Id have to drive some 50 miles each way in extremely heavy traffic; so about 1.5-2 hours each direction, plus the fuel cost of having to drive 100 miles each day and a daily 5 bridge toll not even counting wear and tear on my Civic. Currently I pay 7 each day for the train pre-tax since its taken as a commuter benefit, and I dont deal with trafficcan read on the train etc. Does the new salary offset or make it worth the time and financial burden of that commute? Im leaning against having to spend nearly 4 hours a day in traffic since that would kill my soul, but Id love some input. Thanks!  <response>: 30 minutes on the train vs 1.5 to 2 hours driving is a huge difference. I would personally not take that for 10K unless you were hard up for the money.
