Commuting: LIRR and Metro North
I just read an old thread about commuting, and it seemed like the general consensus was that a commute of >1 hr and finance hours do not mix. One aspect that the thread seemed to overlook was that most people were referring to driving or taking a subway. I was wondering what the consensus on the LIRR or Metro North is?
The LIRR and Metro North are 10 times better than a crowded subway (most of the time). As long as you have a seat, you can turn a crowded train into an office with a laptop and a mobile hotspot. You can respond to emails, get caught up on financial news, read research reports, and even do some financial modeling (if you have ninja like concentration abilities).
So even if you are able to have a very productive commute, is it a good idea to spend an hr or more commuting? Getting work done on the train isn't exactly the same thing as face time in the office, so I can see where that would be a problem in some groups.
