At SFO do you recommend the United Club or the United Polaris Lounge in international terminal G? Is there a difference?

Polaris hands down, this isn’t even a rational question. A rational question would be do you get access to the Polaris lounge?

Then yes, Polaris, not even close to a crappy UC.

Ok thanks - and I get it’s a no brainer for you all, but I asked the question because I didn’t know or have context to know on my own. No need to belittle my lack of experience - both of these responses are helpful but also make it sound like I’m an idiot 🙄

“That’s not even a rational question” is harsh. And just because YOU didn’t find it belittling doesn’t mean my experience is invalid.

When someone calls someone out on rudeness, why is it so hard to say “oh I’m sorry” and then just leave it at that? Or, if you weren’t personally called out, to think to yourself “interesting, I wouldn’t have taken it that way but it’s good to know those words can have different consequences than I may intend”?

like

The only question is: do you have access to Polaris lounges? If so, that’s the choice

like

I had access and I enjoyed the experience. Now for the long flight!

Like K1 said, this is a no brainer. United Club is barely passable as a lounge while the Polaris lounge is competitive with all but maybe the best business class lounges in the world.

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?

What do you all do to make non-professional / personal connections? Particularly with the Coronavirus, and being in domestic relations, I wake up, go to work, work out, go home. So outside of law, my interactions with people are only at the gym given that my area is draining— particularly at the moment. Probably a good thing for now; but if we take coronavirus out of the equation, I’m interested what others in the community do to develop personal connections.

I dated someone 15 years older than me and he always lectured me about what did I do wrong. From small things like where to squeeze ketchup on my plate to big things like how to live my life and pivot to a career that his “friends” do so well in right now. Almost everything I did or said he’d follow with some criticism. I ghosted him after another lunch date full of such lectures.
