| Oct 30, 2018 at 23:10 | comment | added | stannius | As much as I agree that driving 3-4 hours every day is terrible, if I was in the situation where I had just started a new job, and my boss was trying to convince me to move closer to the office so I could spend more time working, I would impolitely decline. | |

| Oct 28, 2018 at 20:01 | comment | added | bharal | @Wilbert makes a really strong point. You're working an extra 20 hours a week just in commuting. None of which is valuable or useful to you. | |

| Oct 26, 2018 at 13:56 | comment | added | Wilbert | @Lokesh You have to set your priorities. Maybe having your own house is that, and that's good. But spending 1.5-2 hours per way (3-4 hours per day) on commuting must seriously affect your quality of life. Do you really think this is a long-term viable solution? Those 3-4 hours are not paid, and since you are not working them, they will also not be rewarded in a bonus (or raise, or ...). | |

| Oct 26, 2018 at 12:13 | comment | added | Lokesh | @rath I have my own house in the town. Why should I be renting a home? And that too for 5 days a week. And anyway, you cannot rent a place for just 5 days a week in India. You have to stay in some hotel then. Which is again an extra expense. | |
| Oct 26, 2018 at 12:09 | comment | added | rath | Side note, moving closer to work can be a reasonable investment. You have to calculate time spent on commute, wear and tear of your vehicle, the free time that you lose, and the stress that goes with it, to see if it makes sense for you. In some places you can rent a place Monday to Friday only. | |

| Oct 26, 2018 at 11:25 | comment | added | Donald | Would this additional time be paid? Does your supervisor know you are settled in your current home? Update your question. | |
