If I had to commute to NYC from my home in Jersey, that's a minimum of three hours per day gone.

So I guess, to start, my working day would have to start when I leave the door, and would end when I got home. This means I would be arriving at work sometime around 11am, and leaving sometime around 3pm.

Note that besides the time suck, it's also a non-negotiable requirement since I have to drop off and pick up my child from school/aftercare.

while my commute wouldn't be anywhere near 3 hours (I live in the midwest, SW Ohio), that pretty much the same for me.

I have to drop my kids off no earlier than 8am and pick them up no earlier than 5pm. there is some wiggle room in terms of minutes, but not enough for a place that would want me to be there 8am to 5pm.
