I am very lucky right now that my commute is about 8 miles each way, maybe 12 minutes if I catch both traffic lights. Deal breaker there is that it's not permanent or full-time with benefits although after three years in the position it's as secure as anything might be today.
Am considering a position that would be about 36 miles each way. Depending on traffic that could be 45-60 minutes each way, which in and of itself is a potential deal breaker. Benefits are a big draw, but parking (location, expense, safety) is another potential deal breaker. I can't put that kind of mileage or wear and tear on my 13 year old vehicle and lose a huge chunk of my paycheck on parking. But that's possible negotiation to come, but an expense to take into consideration.
As for running your own business to working for someone it was no problem. I had a home-based business for a couple of years. Although I loved the product and company I am not native to the area where we live and I just couldn't break through as an "outsider". After that experience I have no problem working for someone else.
