I would avoid anything involving JFK or Newark, adding ground transport is just going to complicate things even more.
I would agree that EWR is kind of a pain to get to, but JFK-LGA is very doable using public transportation. Airtrain to Jamaica, subway to Jackson Heights, Q70 bus to LGA. It's a lot easier than it sounds.

I would very much appreciate any advice on the feasibility of the above. Also, does anyone know if parking is paid for at MIA? And lastly, as a new hire, how often could I realistically expect to be home. (I've got a baby on the way, and this is a bit of a concern.)

Anybody else doing something similar? How's the QoL?

Thanks in advance!
How long did it take to find out that you got the job?
