i think you are confusing travel to work with travel on the job0 -
About 400 miles each way for the interview. I moved before I took up the job! Suspect that won't be the farthest either for me.0

Neighouring county - though employers are growing less keen to recruit 'non locals' in my experience. There has only been 1 employer with a mobility clause of 200 miles in the event the business moved. Nothing came of it though.
My current position of Suffolk to Essex took a lot of persuading and would not have happened if I had lived where I do now. Even though it is my highest earning now.
To be fair I didn't enjoy commuting either on less prospects when I've done it. Wages outstripped in no time.0 -

Lived in North Manchester, went for an interview in South Wales and had to spend a week preparing for it. I guess it is about 200 miles between them,
