Considering taking an office-based job in Cary (I currently telecommute) - going back to the cube would be an adjustment for sure, but the commute - meh.
It takes me 10-15 min to get to I-40 because I'm in the South Square area of Durham, and the job is in SE Cary. Not ideal, but I think there are flex hours for start and stop times.
When would be the best time to go to work? I don't believe Google Maps when they tell me it's a 30 min commute, despite what my overly enthusiastic/hard sell headhunter tells me...

Over by Crossroads Shopping Center. That's where. You gonna go work for Epic Games?
That's a long commute, but I work from home most of the time and I'm lazy when it comes to commutes.
Should be easier than going in the opposite direction, though.
I wish I were going to work for Epic Games! I think I know some minor html...that'll get me in, right ?
Yeah, any commute will seem longer since I've worked from home since 2009. I will have to buy a work wardrobe again! Not sure my old one fits. I'm too close to my fridge...

On the bright side, that intersection is far from your fridge and you have uncovered a reason to buy cute clothes. I hope your office is business casual so you can wear them all the time.
I'm all about thinking positive.
p.s. I wish I could work at Epic. Alas, my coding knowledge and yours together might not get us beyond a job in QA or something.

I don't live all that far from South Square, and I feel like it takes me nearly 30 minutes to get to the airport. So, I can't see how that part of cary wouldn't be more than that. I go a little bit on 40, sometimes, for my commute, but not as far as what you'd be looking at. If you can pick your hours I think I'd go with an early start (7am) and an early finish (4pm, assuming an 8 hour day and hour lunch). There isn't much traffic at those times, but the 8am traffic can last until well after 8am, and same with the 5pm traffic on the way home.

Thanks! Good point about the airport - nearly 30 min for me too. Hm. Lots to think about.
I used to work near South Square and I had a co-worker who lived near Kildaire Farm and Cary Pkwy (not exactly Crossroads, but close-ish). Her commute was regularly 45 minutes to an hour.
