Appreciate the link!!

Thanks so much, appreciate the advice!

Appreciate you sharing - definitely want to understand all sides of the possible commute!

I'll have to see what TF will look like in a morning commute - thank you for the heads up! Definitely have no problem entertaining myself, haha.

I appreciate the honest feedback! It's my fear that I'd feel that way, but I think I'll have to try this in real time a few times if it comes to an offer. The 3x a week vs 5x a week makes it feel like it wouldn't be too overwhelming, but this is the trade off I'm weighing for a pay bump. I definitely value my time more than money, but if the commute is doable that I'm game for giving it a go - I definitely want to see both sides of everyone's experiences, so thank you!

Oh no way! That's really great to know. I should probably have a good grasp on what days I'd be in, so I should be able to stick to a normal schedule 95% of the time. Thank you for the great info.

Wow this is really helpful, thank you. I believe they are offering some money to assist with the commute, but it would probably equate to 1 week of the Amtrak (still better than nothing). I honestly think their flexibility with my time in/out of the office will be the deal breaker. I'm in Northern RI - definitely open to both trains and if this comes to an offer, will likely take 2 days off and try the commute in both ways before making a decision to really get a feel for it. We've thought about moving to the south county area which would put me close to Amtrak out of Kingston, or the Wickford Jnc if we're closer to NK.

I'm open to any trains, but ideally was looking at the Amtrak - that said, I'll definitely have to look into that station. Wasn't aware they had a new one!

Great to hear that my worry just might be more concern than anything - definitely appreciate the perspective! Esp. coming from a family with 3 kiddos.

Appreciate the perspective - totally right about it being no big deal if it's a time or two over years

The Friday train ride to end the week does sound peaceful! Thanks so much

Thanks! That's my hope. If they're flexible and I can just plan to be in early / out early, it shouldn't be too bad

Ha - that's awesome and kind of what I was hoping to hear! I just wasn't sure if it was realistic, so I appreciate you sharing.

thanks so much!

This is really helpful, thanks so much!
