    The people who live closer than 2 hours away can afford to work for a better company

      That doesn’t even make sense.

      Let’s say I have a job right now that I live 10 minutes from. I interview for a different job in the next city over, or across town, because it’s offering 50% more than my current job, but my commute would end up being an hour and a half.

      How does that mean that by living closer to my current job I can afford to work for the company an hour and a half away?
