<prompt> Human: Got a job offer as a project engineer that pays 18 more then I currently earn from 55k to 65k but requires 25 to 50 domestic travel coast to coast. My current job doesnt require any travel 50 minute commute total. Those of whom that travel a lot for work, how is it? Is the extra pay worth it?Edit: for reference, Im in my early 20s and this would only be my second job out of collegeAssistant: If you are young and dont have a family yet take the opportunity. More money, miles, experience. If you dont enjoy it you can always quit.Human: Im just worried about looking flighty if I quit. Im leaving my first job out of college after 2 years and if this pans out 2 jobs in 2 years looks fluky.  <response>: Nah. Im an old guy and our impression of youngsters like you is that you are going to move around no matter what. Nobody expects you to stay put doing one thing for one company any more, and we dont even hold it against you. Plus you are not going into it planning on hating it and quitting. You are going into it as an opportunity to learn and grow in your role. The travel part is what it is - sometimes a headache, sometimes a bonus. Depending on who you work for they may not even care if you go home for the weekend - so for example, if you live in NY and you are on a project in Seattle, and you want to spend the weekend in LA with friends you may just be able to book your return ticket to LA instead of home, then back to the project on Sunday night. Make sure you get a credit card through the airline that flies your route, and rack up miles, and hotel points, etc. Take advantage if you are assigned in decent cities to see those cities, i.e. dont just sit in your hotel room watching Sportscenter at night. DO IT.
