Like Sam said, the money helps but at the moment I have the flexibility. I can wfh at my convenience, have a day off and leave early to get kids from school.
It's not straight forward as more money unfortunately.
As others have said the choice is yours, but don't underestimate the ability for a long commute to fuck up and totally drain you.
I did 4+ years into Manchester on the train just over an hour each way and probably with traipsing to and from stations added 3 hrs to each working day. Add into the equation trains royally fucking up one a month (at least) turning the 1 hr into 2, plus having a baby at home.
When I reverted to full time WFH the money was broadly the same but the lifestyle made it so much better, especially with a young 'un, yes I could have undoubtedly have climbed the corporate ladder if I had stayed down there and made more cash, but it would have been at the cost of my life and family.
Its not a choice I envy!
