Hi all, I’m torn between two opportunities. I was just offered a role as a research tech for 2 years at a T5 university that’s around an hour drive from my current house. I was also told by the HR of a private research company (20 minute drive away) that I’d be a shoe in for a research associate role. The difference in pay is \~48k vs 58k, but I’m more worried about the commute time eating up so many hours each week. My plans are to apply MDPHD and MD, so I eventually want to take the MCAT and start studying later in the summer. What would you guys choose?
