Hourly service on the Waterbury branch? You’re the one shooting up if you believe that.

Ah damn. That's exactly where I'm looking. Off Willard area basically.

Off Willard Ave

West Hartford town line.

We talking Hartford side, new Britain side or whereabouts

The only right answer is ditch the NYC commute.

Edit: Ask questions: For how long? Is this permanent? Why am I needed in NYC 3 days/wk.? How does this benefit the company and me as an employee? If you’re a top performer, this is an opportunity to stand your ground OR ask for more money. If you have to be in NYC 3 days/wk you’ll either need accommodations or you’ll be spending a shit ton on gas/train tickets. Either way going to NYC 3 days a week will cost you more money so IF you’re going to stay, they need to give you more money. Otherwise, 🖕🏻✌🏻.

I lived in Newington for a few years and multiple people got their catalytic converters stolen. I got the cops called on me because I was in our apartment parking lot at 4 AM and they assumed I was stealing CATs.

Yeah it isn’t

Shoots up the train?

That's what I was thinking. The places I have viewed were only 10 minutes from my Hartford residence. Not sure if that area is worse or better (near NHS) than the turnpike or college areas. I had my catalytic converter stolen at JNI automotive which is just a few minutes from the Newington town line. Also had a window broken just to have a Halloween skeleton taken. I've purposely bought shitboxes the past 15 years to try to prevent big losses while living in Hartford.

To be clear on this - you're slamming this commenter for not providing a response, then saying that everyone would do x for y until faced with the consequences..and then saying you'd have a terrible commute to NYC for a six figure salary? Unclear how you can be holding those two positions.

The average or lower than average violent crime rate, but above average property crime. I have a feeling a lot of people in Newington got their catalytic converters stolen.

Newtown to the Southeast train is 30-45 minutes of driving depending on traffic and then another 90 minutes of train time, and then probably cab or subway unless the office is close to GCT. I would not suggest this.

Definite New Haven. Train right into Grand Central (express) and wife can either drive the ~40 minutes to WeHa or take the Hartford line to a bus or cab (if you are interested in mass transit options.)

Also one of the few towns that isn't controlled by eversource IIRC

And it’s got any fast food you could ever want as well as Walmart, Stop&Shop, BJs, Aldis, and a ShopRite.

Ask if your company also pays for hotel 2 nights a week. Otherwise looking for another job. The money won’t be worth it unless it pays 160k+.

New Hartford is arguably one of the best towns in CT that's worth living in, plus it splits the commute in your wife's favor. Happy wife, Happy life. Nature lovers dream with all conveniences within a short drive. Ski Sundown Best fly fishing Mountain bike trails for life Hiking trails everywhere

Oh, ya, plus 30 mins to West Hartford 10 mins to Rte 8, which depends on the time of day you can be in NYC in 2 hours, but you'll love in a town worth the commute. You're only going 3 days a week. A bunch of my friends do the commute weekly, too. I also have a friend who does the 2 hour commute to Boston from the same town. Think of it as a ride with the opportunity to listen to podcasts. Or if you grab the train along the way, you can do work or watch a movie.

Pm with ur social security and credit card info I got u bro

Take it from someone born and raised in connecticut:nothing

Wallingford was my first thought as well, and not a half bad town to boot

Danbury area? Straight down 84. Train into NYC

We miss you
