Leave a job your happy in?

******* hell that OP is difficult to translate! Is your role writing instructions for flat pack furniture?

I think you are doing 225 miles per day, 4 days a week, each day is a 5hr round trip commute?

This...................

Let me get this straight. New job is:

1) "A lot" closer than your frankly completely crazy 2.5hr each way commute (any closer is better, a lot sounds much much better)
2) Financially leapfrogs your prospects in your current place
3) You are purely results based rather than simply time in seat based (realistically, all jobs are somewhat results based...) does this mean no core hours at all or you still need to be in office even if your results are resulting?

My actual brother... Unless you see something truly special with your current place, or there are obvious red flags at the other place, it seems like a total no brainer.

That commute alone would be having me looking elsewhere - time is a priceless commodity.

I just feel for the OP. I couldn’t do that.

I did commute for almost 1.5 hrs for a contract job from Bedford to Uxbridge, but it was all train / underground and the day rate was good. Only did it for a year and stayed in a hotel one night a week.

Don’t think I could reasonably function knowing I had the drive either side of the day.

It's 40PCM but you'd only pay ~20PCM as you'd be murdered by week 2.

Sounds like a bargain. Wouldn't have to go back to work

I bet most people that do ~5/6 hours a day driving would rather crash there, not only saving money it's local, and working you come back at 6pm anyway so literally shower, eat then bed.

Lol

Zefan got it right about the commute.
 
Thanks for all your responses, a lot to think about.
If I hated my job it would be a no brainer, but I have had jobs that I hated which makes thinking of leaving my current job harder.

I know what you mean, I suppose it really depends on what you value most. Draw up a list of pros and cons and score them if possible, try to make the qualitative quantitative as much as possible.
