Apartment hunting -30+ minute commute?

I know social life and proximity to the office are important but how unrealistic is it to commute around 30 minutes by train to the office as a 1st year analyst? I’m not trying to spend all my money on an apartment because I really need to save and the apartments within my budget that I’ve been seeing close to the office are super small.
