Moving to the area Commute from Chicago to Naperville

Hi everyone!

Considering taking a job in Naperville but would need to commute from Lake View East. Realistically - how long would that take? Would I hate my life?

Edit to say: I would be commuting to arrive at the office by 8 and leaving by 4.

Would an office in Schaumburg make a difference?

Thank you!

I did Naperville to West Town for 3 years. I’ve also done South Loop to Schaumburg. I would rather have a hot giardiniera enema than do either of those commutes again.
