Time wise, how long is your current commute compared to the new one?

Current post = 50 mins each way
New post = 30 mins each way

So not a huge saving in time, 40 mins off your 'working' day. 3 hours a week to factor in.

True, but the reduction is mileage is also beneficial

I have only ever felt any benefit in commuting times at the end of the day not the start. I still wake up at 5 whatever my commute has been so just end up watching more news before setting off than before. Its nice knowing you will home by 6 each day though.

Are you really making the decision based on a small salary change and the % reduction in car servicing cost?

You're going to spend the majority of 5 of your 7 days a week in there for howevermany years, so I'd be inclined to choose based on the job responsibilities and employer culture

My main concern would be the culture shock moving from private to public. I had experience with public briefly on a couple of temp gigs way back when and you couldn’t pay me enough to go back to working in that.

I was actually amazed that the boss could just say, nah not feeling all that great this avo team, I’m off home see you all tomorrow @ 2pm on a Thursday. No signs of illness what so ever and very brazen about the fact that he simply didn’t give a st.

Then again, if that’s the way you like to work then more power to you I suppose. You’ll be a great fit.

Definitely a very different mind set within public sector imo.
