OP are you in the LA bootcamp this week?

D3: I did the one in McLean last week. I studied a little bit between the end of the course and Tues, then crammed all day Wed and Thurs AM, then took the test Thurs afternoon and passed. I studied using the testing database and the "PMP Pocket Prep" app- it's like $23 bucks but definitely helped. Be forewarned that the test was MOSTLY scenario-based!

Thanks OP

Hi Everyone - I was hoping someone could throw some light on the kind of work trust and safety does.

Or is it more engineering?

JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
