Anyone live in suffolk county but commute to NYC for work?
I live in Commack but commute to Brooklyn three days a week part time. My mornings are insane but I’m done by noon so driving back isn’t bad. Eventually i’m cutting down to two days a week. Anyone have tips for these long morning commutes? LIRR seems to take me longer according to google maps.
Also the benefits and perks I get at this job are unlike anything else which I will never get at another job and i’ve tried looking for months so leaving the job isn’t an option unfortunately.
I used to commute to downtown BK around Joralemon and court st area a few times a month. It was miserable by car. I’m in Suffolk but only takes me about 3 min to hit Nassau by car. Sadly train was faster as it was a 10 min walk from Atlantic. Need to head in after 930 and leave by 130 to have a normal drive. Of course those hours don’t work for most.
Crazy as it sounds, I have taken the Sagtikos to Robert Moses Causeway, then Ocean Parkway west all the way to the Meadowbrook up the Southern State a few times when driving to JFK in the morning. I don't know if you're in southern Brooklyn or not. Much longer , almost always faster in the AM. And much more scenic.
have you even tried LIRR or you're just guessing?
To where in Brooklyn are you commuting?
At what time in the morning are you leaving? Can you leave earlier?
In general, if the commute times are the same, the train is your best bet. You can sleep, read, do work, etc. and it's less stressful.
Meh. For the short work week you have it’s probably best to just keep doing what you’re doing. Make sure you have a nice comfy car with a decent radio, and a good cup of coffee.

I have not tried LIRR but I prefer the privacy of my own car if that makes sense. I commute to downtown Brooklyn. My job is very flexible i am supposed to start at 9am but work with medical residents so I can get there at even 10-10:30am.

Commack is a long way from Brooklyn. Unless I'm missing something, there should be plenty of health care job opportunities for you on Long Island. Equally good wages and benefits. Even for a job 2x week. I'd look for a job with NYU Langone or Northwell on LI.

Yes definitely far!
The best thing about my job in Brooklyn that no other place offers is flexibility. As a mom of three young kids I need that more in my life right now. I can go in late as often as I need and leave early whenever something comes up and I’m done by noon!
When we were house hunting and looking in Nassau county the smaller and more expensive homes just wasn’t cutting it for us. Suffolk was giving us more bang for our buck.
