Anyone else remember when Uber (or Lyft) were faster, cheaper, cleaner, and better vehicles than cabs?

Now, in the time it takes to walk from C gates to cab line the app still can't figure out I'm back at ORD, an UberX is over $70, or a black over $100.

It will take 15 min to get a car (8 min according to the app) and it will be a dirty Toyota Corolla

Meanwhile there is no one in the cab line and in a crossover with much more space for $50

Over the last year, I’ve only been taking cabs from O’hare. Hated the Uber/Lyft wait times and prices are about the same now.

Anecdotally, it feels like our prices in general are so much higher than other cities. Have been in Miami, Nashville, and some other cities lately where Ubers/Lyfts seemed much cheaper on average

I’ve heard people say that they’ll take the blue line to any of the stops between Irving Park and Damen, and then call an Uber from there

Cabs were always the best way to leave ORD for years. Sure you can get unlucky with the line occasionally, but the Uber wait and random cancellations was always atrocious.

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.
