I'm about ready to make a mix-feelings thread myself. Really this is ridiculous.
So I was contacted for a job today, which I initially declined because they wanted me to start Wednesday and I was committed to finishing the project at my current job. I spoke to one of my bosses(I have two at this job) and she pushed me to go get the job, saying that my duration at this job is nearly over, there is more potential growth on that job, it's a fantastic resume builder, and she by herself will be a strong reference from this job anyways.
So I've decided to take the job. Right now waiting on them to tell me that it all checks out and I do have the job(the recruiter said they aren't looking to interview, they'll just hire me). The main issue with the job however, is that the commute is ****ing awful. This is really gonna affect my quality of life. I don't have a car and by public transportation it's 2 going and coming back, and on Saturdays(they said I'd have to be open to overtime) it'll be 3 **** hours! I'm gonna have to change my entire sleep schedule!
What'll probably have to happen is that I'll likely have to move over there. Which isn't ideal because I have a very cheap apartment(fantastic considering all things included) and it's very very close to major transportation hubs. Also Unless they hire me full time this job is only a 2 month contract. So it probably wouldn't be worth it. IDK!
Edit: Hmm, this probably belongs more in the unhappy thread.
