Hi fishes, in urgent need of your suggestions.
One of my friend is having offer from Oracle Pune for software developer role in Oracle store team. but he does not have clear idea of the role whether it will be operations, support or development work.
Does anyone know what kind of work is there in store team. Also, is it possible to change the project once we get inside?
Urgent suggestions required...
Thanks!
Any review on globant EY project?

I wouldn't be here if I didn't live here. If you really don't need to go, pick another time.
It’s going to suck, come again later
...just don’t know if this “arctic blast” is truly dangerous/messing up flights/etc
Reschedule. This week is not going to be fun. Definitely not looking forward to leaving the house on Tuesday and Thursday. Thankfully I can stay inside on Wednesday when it is supposed to be the worst.
Snow is more of an issue. Ord was a mess today
If possible, don’t bother to travel. Locals aren’t going into their offices
I’m not sure you have much of a choice as it’s going to be impossible to get here late Tuesday/Wednesday. Airports won’t be able to keep up with the de-icing, ground crews will be sparse, and last time it got this cold the fuel lines froze. If you try to come you’re just going to waste hours on delayed and ultimately cancelled flights.
It’s -44 with wind chill here in Chicago. Offices are closed and we do not typically close offices for snow or cold.
In this weather, cars have issues, the train can break down, everything is icy as fuck - and it can take less than a minute of exposure to get frostbite. Why would you come here?
Upper Midwest deals well with cold. Wear a good jacket - cold isn’t an excuse to cancel a work trip
EY1 - these are RECORD lows. This is not normal Chicago cold. Frostbite will happen on exposed skin in less than 5 minutes. A “good jacket” is not sufficient - no where close.

Don’t come here. It’s going to brutal and no one is going anywhere (schools, businesses, etc. closed) on Wednesday, possibly Thursday too.
Definitely reschedule. You’ll spend more time at the airport than with the client. I experienced delays last week from icing and it wasn’t nearly the record freezing temps we’re about to get. Plus we’ve been dumped with more snow. It was a mess yesterday. I’m receiving notifications that some offices and businesses will be closed Wednesday, possibly Thursday also. Come next week when we will have a comparable “heatwave” with 30-40+ degree weather.
DONT GO!!! Hope it's not too late. I drove up to Chicago because flights were impossible. I am an out of town mgr managing an in town team, or else I would not have. Sounds like you have an easy out. Do you really want to deal with -50, -60 wind chill?
