    It wold depend on your situation.

    Throughout my career (and many moves) I've lived 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 32, 52 and 90 miles from work.

    FYI:  The further away you live the less likely they'll ask you to come in for some lame excuse on the weekend.

    At one of the places I worked if they called me in on an unscheduled day of work (weekend or day off) for even 10 minutes they had to pay me time and a half for 4 hours of work...and I went home after the 10 minutes too.  ; ' )

    For me it depends on the job, the rate of pay, if it would be permanent, the cost of moving, and the time and money saved commuting. So put on your adult pants, make some calculations and make your own adult decision instead of asking to be told.

    I always liked being within biking or walking distance of where I worked...

    I once lived less than one mile from my job.  And I had use of a company car.  I used to commute to a job by city bus.  It was cheaper than driving and paying to park.  And we had a regular friendly crowd in the back of the bus.

    When I worked for the census last year I drove 50 miles up and 50 miles back for 8 months if I knew that I was going to be there forever I would have certainly moved but I knew the job was temporary so I put up with the hardship
