Stevie all i would say is that sometimes you cant put a value on your own time and that when you have stuff going on or the family needs you or you're in a rush then you'll perhaps wish that you work closer.
If the promotion can be any way chosen so that you can do it for a finite time say 1 or 2 years then it could be worth it for future local promotions maybe and i could see that being worth the sacrifice but id rather move closer to work than do the longer distance long term.
Think of one of the reasons that you left your old long term career........was it to be closer to home?
Another consideration is the shifts......if the promition is 9-5 monday to friday then i wouldnt do it but if it is shifts where you can travel during quiet times plus less travelling overall in a working week if on longer shifts then it becomes viable.
Im 15 miles from work, im not allowed any further away, in my contract, i find it the perfect distance especially since my shifts mean i only do it 4 times in my working week.
Easiest way to go fast........don't buy a blue bike
