The Ironic thing is I would be happy to pay a bond, and stay with a company such as FCA for the rest of my career, just looking for that illusive base!
Famous last words and no doubt sincere... for now. Whilst I don't disagree about the commuting and can appreciate how fatiguing it is, you must remember that most turboprop pilots who are just starting out as you are, will be just as keen to get that first jet job, preferably near to where they live.
Just remember when you get to an interview that the words
"staying with a company for the rest of my career" are quite nice but in reality are only valid during the honeymoon period. Whilst made sincerely and truthfully at the time, circumstances change, ambition sometimes aims a little higher and once the novelty has worn off you may find the type of flying and route structure is just as fatiguing as your daily commute down the M6. Well, maybe not quite as horrific as the M6.
You will eventually get your jet job with the associated increase in earnings, hopefully somewhere near to where you live. However, you may have to consider moving somewhere else if that's the only choice you have depending on what's on offer. If you're the main bread winner in the family then you must make difficult choices.
In the meantime, enjoy building up your experience and remember that many of us thought our first jet job would be one for life. In reality, things change and so do our ambitions.
