Anybody else put in an address a few doors down for Uber/lyft pickup? It makes me feel a bit uncomfortable giving actual address and the driver knowing I’m headed out of town. I didn’t think...

about this while living in a doorman apartment building but having moved into a single family home with my wife alone makes me slightly uneasy. Am I a bit paranoid or is this a valid concern?

What about the persons address you are giving? Are you not putting them in the same danger for no reason?

I think about this all the time and is my only reservation. If something were to happen at my neighbors I would feel incredibly guilty. Unfortunately putting in my cross streets and using a ‘fake’ address doesn’t work. Dropping a pin in the middle of the st gives an address and I don’t live reasonably close enough to a public spot where I could walk to a pickup. Do you know of any way to trick Uber/lyft to get you close but not an actual address?

Do you live in a solely residential area? If not, can you walk a few blocks to the closest business and use that as the address?

I do this, but only because if I put in my address they end up in the back alley instead of in front of the house. my neighbor's address gets them to arrive out front.

I have offers from both United Health Group and Atlassian for a Senior Financial Analyst position. Similar Comp (Atlassian slightly higher due to stock options).

In the long term, does Atlassian look better on a resume/work experience due to the Tech/Software space? Seems like their culture is great, but a much higher work load due to the nature of the company. Thanks! Happy to answer DM's too
