I’m not a New Yorker. I don’t know the bus systems or subways that well. This is actually my first time in the city since I was in college. Just reminiscing.

I once got from LGA to NYU for $28 on uber pool during rush hour (I rode alone).

Fuck NYC taxis in particular

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

so Qatar air biz > emirates biz
- Q suites (no masks)
- better amenities kit
- unlimited desi chai

Emirates:
- pick up / drop

I’ve been with my current company for a little over 5 years now and since the start of the pandemic have been WFH. I absolutely love WFH and have always wanted a position in which I could WFH. There is talk of bringing everyone back to the office full time and that’s not what I would like to happen. I’ve been searching for a new position in which it would be a remote role. My current company also said I am maxed out in term of what they are willing to pay salary wise.
