Philosophical Question of the Week-

In terms of a job, and with pay being about equal, is it better to work at a place that-

Has a completely unexciting product in a completely unexciting environment with completely unexciting people and has a hellacious commute but should be fairly mellow, stress-free and 9-5 ish?

or

Has a totally crazy work environment and totally crazy management with totally crazy hours but has a happening product, happening environment, free cell-phones, not that bad of a commute, and office parties featuring Peter Frampton and Crosby, Stills and Nash?

Kind of an inverse, "tastes great/less filling" zen koan type of thing, ain't it. On the one hand, totally stress-free and blah eight hour day with tons of time for Web surfing yet an ugly commute versus completely stressful and hectic day but no bad commute.

Questions? Comments?
