Reverse Commute

Does anyone have any experience doing the reverse commute from NYC to Greenwich etc. I see stone point and other funds are based out there. Want to know if the commute is as bad as it seems.  
 

Thanks!

It's pretty rough tbh - the counterpoint is that most of those funds have a bit more flexibility around leaving earlier so you're not taking a $100 Uber back to the city at 1am after the trains shutdown. Anecdotally have found that the cultures of those funds tend to be more "family-friendly" given the partners chose to be the burbs for a reason. 

If you know you're not going to live in NYC forever / are close to settling down, it's honestly not a bad long-term play (vs. ending up in the burbs later on and commuting into the city).
