Freddy, I am a relative newcomer to this world, so I apologise if what I say now rings utterly stupid, just my 5 cents:First: think for how long would you stay at your work (given that you land there and everything is as expected): 3 yrs? 5yrs? 10 yrs? You should bear into mind what kind of motivation would you have to stay for those years. Maybe 1) would be money, maybe 2)travelThen I would layout in a 24 hr day plan all the leisurely activities that I would ideally do in a typical daily routine, say, spend time with the partner or kids, sports, reading, whatever. Book a time slot for each activity. Rate those activities from less to most important. Calculate for your 3 jobs the wage/hour ratio.I would then say, "Ok, this work will take so many hours from me, I am going to start crossing out enjoyable activities and slotting in work hours." At some point decreasing marginal returns will set in. For additional work hours an increased sacrifice will be needed. At some point you might say "ok, the deal's not worth it". This is the easy part, because time is quantifiable. Based on the wage/hour ratio you might find it ok to sacrifice such long hours for a good wage provided its for 3 yrs, but not for 10 yrs (since that deal would involve too much sacrifice for an additional amount of money which you don't really need)Now, try to factor in travel. Its difficult to model that, because travel destinations and schedules are unpredictable.Basically, what I have done is a sort of matrix factoring in hourly wage, the marginal increase in sacrifice per additional hour, plus 3 different scenarios based on how long would you stick with the job.Finally, when you are done with the analysis and have more or less made a decision, go to bed, sleep it through, rethink i next morning and make a final decision with your partner.Thats what I would do. Hope it helps, at least a bit.
