whats the big deal about a job title ?

You need to earn the respect of the people rather than hiding behind an overly large and inflated job title.

It's very important to Wilmslow.

Mind you the last permie job I had my job title changed randomly from Consultant to Senior Principle consultant depending on who they were trying to send me out to.

I make up a different one all the time, depending on who is asking

Good point - this works with me to get that holy grail of walking to work

the commute would bother me, why spend more hours a day commuting than you have to?

Nothing nicer than looking at the clock & thinking I'll be home in 10 minutes! (mine is 30 minutes on a bike or WFH).

However I suspect the second are expecting you to fix all their problems, you may spend more time at work if you can't. Make sure you get the authority to do it.

variety & potential all count.

40 mile commute is not something to factor a gig on in my opinion. An hour commute is squat in this day and age and is hardly a deal breaker. I haven't done less than 1hour 30 in years and it doesn't affect my life unduly..

Losing 3 hours a day sat in traffic doesnt affect your life? You really must have no life.
