Any train commuters from NJ to midtown NYC? Accepted a new job in-house that requires significant facetime. What did I just sign myself up for? My door to door should be 45-60 mins (assuming NJ Transit delivers).

It’s never 45-60. I commute from ridgewood nj to nyp. Between parking waiting transfers and walking it’s about 90 minutes

Tata Consultancy Hi fishies, I recently interviewed for a Big data dev role for Autodesk but it's via a third party called Applicantz. Initially the contract is for 1 year, which can be extended. There is also scope of Autodesk hiring permanently after 6 months or 1 year. Can anyone provide some reviews about Autodesk and third party Applicantz. Usually I would not have considered anything via a third party, but the company(Autodesk) seems great and work discussed seems good as well.

I’ve seen some RN friends on social media talk about how burnt out they are from being overworked through the pandemic and they voice frustrations with administration, stating they care more about profits than they do people.

Are those are common sentiments? And what should administration do differently? 🤷🏽‍♀️ I also hear lots about the staffing and capacity struggles and feel like both sides are in a tough spot.

I don’t work in care delivery but just curious
