Anybody have insight into car rentals? I may need to rent a large car in August, and I've very rarely rented a car. Visiting parents an hour outside of Philly. Getting a car in NYC, a car in Philly, or a car in the Suburbs are all possible. I could do 6 days, exactly a week, or 10 days, if any certain length hits a cost sweet spot.

I have CSR, so I think I get 10x points if I use points, but not sure if that's the best option.

I find a corporate code and Jersey City (haven’t tried Philly or further out) the cheapest. Airport locations have more fees, but if you’re part of Hertz Club Gold (particularly with five star or president’s circle status) or National Emerald Club (particularly with exec status), you might get away with booking a midsize and choosing a large SUV or car from the aisle for no additional fee at an airport location. Hertz and National status come free with some credit cards.

Use corporate code.

Avis

Weekly bookings are cheaper than 5-6 days usually. I recommend using a code from one of the tech companies with Avis… cheaper than every consulting firm for certain metros like NYC.

Airport is more expensive because of fees tacked on (you’re paying for their air train basically). But, no proof of employment required at airports vs individual locations.

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

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?
