Any thoughts on the Friendship Heights and Van Ness neighborhoods? I’m apartment hunting across the metro’s upper red line and am curious about things like walkability, social scene, access to food/groceries, safety, etc

Planners are trying to make Friendship Heights more interesting, but it’s really just families and a couple of stores. Van Ness much more interesting and vibrant. Both very, very safe.

I’m moving to the van ness neighborhood, was told it’s very walking only 2stops to downtown and a good amount of social scene as you get closer to DuPont. Theres farmers markets and the giant grocer. Hope this is helpful

Pretty sleepy neighborhoods. Tenleytown/City Ridge is a little livelier with the latter being farther from the metro. Woodley Park is much closer to things if you’re a young person who enjoys the AdMo kind of experience.

Oh, and upper NW is overall as safe as you’re going to get in the city.

Hello Fishes,

I currently hold offers from below:
IBM - 15.5 LPA
CTS - 18.5 LPA
PWC India - 16 LPA
Oracle Financial Services Software(OFSS) - 21 LPA

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Today I had my 2nd round interview with EY GDS and got rejected.
Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?

Please provide your valuable inputs.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
