Hello to this great community,

I wanted to thank everyone who responded to my post, and also apologize for not following up sooner. Your responses, and personal experiences shared, gave me a lot to think about and consider. I decided to not proceed with the interview process for the job in NY. While it sucks that I've been unemployed for the last 3 months, I have been able to spend much needed time time with my family, and this has further justified my decision - that the cost of a full time, long distance commute would simply be too great... in many ways.

Since my next job is likely to involve a lot of travel, perhaps I will be able to return some value and become a more active member.

Thanks again,

Adam
