Counting my commute into my job search

Need more details. With your current information it is a no brainer to go with the shorter route.

Go for the job you think you'll like the most. I would rather drive an hour and a half to a job I like than 10 minutes to a job I didn't. I've had both and trust me, not liking your job is miserable.

Both jobs are pretty much equal. Similar pay, similar responsibilities, but I quit the job with the shorter commute already back in December, and they want me back (of course changing some of the reasons I left, otherwise I wouldn't consider it).

I kind of want to experience the other place, because it's an awesome company, but these are both career-type jobs, I won't be able to just leave if it sucks and find something comparable.

The further job has some possible added income over the closer job if certain bonus conditions are met, though.

Do a cost benefit analysis when it comes to the two jobs, factor in the commutes and what not.

Go with the new place. Take the risk. If you've already quit the other job once, even if they claim they've made some changes, you still won't be happy. Lots of people have longer commutes, and training yourself to wake up earlier will actually help you out in the long run. Most of the world's successful professionals are early-risers and calculated risk-takers.

I personally have an adversity to going back to an old job where they promise to change what you didn't like. It's a lot like going back to an old relationship you left. Pretty soon, the things you hated start to creep slowly back in. Unfortunately, history tends to repeat itself. I would go for the new opportunity. You still run the risk of it turning out to be an awful job, but at least you didn't know any better.

Honestly, try the other company, it'll diversify your resume, at least, and if you manage your time properly a 45 min commute isn't that big of a deal

Which job has the most qt grills working there?

That one.

This is part of my cost-benefit analysis, I think factoring in whether or not the commute is going to be that big of a pain in the ass is my biggest mystery - I've never worked more than a confident 30 minutes away... this is really far.

While a very big chunk of me thinks you're both right, there's an equally large part that realizes that I may have made a mistake looking for greener pastures. I left and ended up at a company that was bullshit, and realized as I started job hunting again that I'd fucked up and given up something great. These are probably the two best employers in the city for my position. It's not often someone will take you back after dumping them to "upgrade."

The shorter commute job, by far.
