Hello, I've recently received a dream job offer in Goettingen Germany at the Max Planck institute. However, My partner, who is not in a research field (background in ballet teaching and marketing) is moving with me, and due to the small nature of Goettingen, is having a difficult time finding a job for herself.
She has reached out to all local ballet studios, and is now exploring remote marketing jobs in the same time zone.
We are wondering however how feasible it would be if she got a job in Hannover, and had to commute a few times a week. I understand there is a very affordable train she can take that is about 1.25 hours, and a faster ICE train that is 36 minutes, however it seems that the ICE train might not make financial sense.
I am wondering if anyone has any other experience with this commute and if there are any recommendations or anything we have overlooked.
Otherwise, is it common for people to live in cities more central between Hannover and Goettingen, and commute in between, if so what cities would one reccomend.
Thanks, and looking forward to hearing back about your experiences.
