There’s a place that serves infant lamb. Supposed to be a local delicacy

Check out the Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau, it's a former hospital that is now a modern art site (beautiful architecture and murals). Not many tourists and the neighborhood it's in is filled with locals.

Go off la rambla, find a hole in the wall to eat. Wander around la sagrada familia cathedral aimlessly until you come across a random couple dancing in the alleys. Drink sangria in the courtyard in front of the basilica of santa Maria del Mar. Don't worry about the Olympic village. That was kind of meh.

Eat a sandwich at Bo de B

Oh the castell de montjuic was cool

The locals at Barcelona hate tourists.

I'll be in San Sebastian on Thursday. Will miss messi. But I really need some deep seafood

Whoa.. Bo de B pictures look insane. I'm going for a run then will go there!

Enjoy @ OP!

Sagrada familia is touristy but honestly so beautiful

El Born is where it's at. Get off La Rambla as others said.

I recently interviewed for a really well known, mature tech company that’s revered for its great culture. I was at the last round, after over a month of communication, interviews and challenges. I couldn’t even count hours I’d already put in. Then they ghosted me. It ruined my interest in the role anyway, but I’m still extremely disappointed with how they treated me. Is there a way to give them that feedback? And is it even worth it anyway?

Hi Fishes,

How is culture at Hexaware ? Especially there Central Bid Management or RFP team?

I was fired last month after a short time at the company. I knew things weren't going well- it was a terrible culture fit & I was also planning my exit strategy. They wouldn't give me specific reasons other than to vaguely say it was performance related. I agree I made a few dumb mistakes (none of any dire consequence) but what kills me is that I tried really hard. I don't want to change careers but I have a deep seeded fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be a "good attorney".

The AWS role will be an IC role and more hands-on/technical. The startup will be a CPO role reporting to the CEO with a team of about 50 devs+PMs.
