some answers mention impact, that isn't important for me, I have a life and the job isn't part of my identity
but I did have a bad commute once to a boring office park from San Francisco to San Mateo
the people in that region said my commute length was lucky, which felt like collective cope and brainwashing because of the shared compromises they made
I unsubscribed and took at 20% paycut to have a job in the Mission, which was a 10 minute walking and subway commute, and in the middle of trendy cafes and shops all day. Most of my friends could only go to the Mission at night or on weekends, and many of those same cafes were not open then, or were packed for a different crowd's rush. I felt really lucky, and in these salary ranges there wasn't a compromise in paying for things and saving.
