Commuting from the jersey suburbs to EWR tomorrow. For those who do this weekly, is Uber reliable enough or should I pre-arrange a cab?

Cab

I was able to get a lyft at 4:30. Just make sure you are ready to call 15-20 min prior just in case

Depends where in Jersey, if there's only 1-2 during the day I'd arrange for a cab

Just check if uber is available in the app.. How many cars are available etc. to be on safe side I will pre arrange or be reasonably confident that transport will be available.

There's like1-2 during the day right now but I have no clue what it looks like at 5am. Probably will cab

Most likely you won't have uber . Plan that way if money is not an issue. There are always pros and cons. Calculated risk is not a bad choice either. :)

Haha money shouldn't be an issue because luckily it's expensed!

Then why this procrastination. It's waste of time unless you are thirsty for random knowledge :)

Book a car service. Cabs suck.

You can also take NJ Transit which drops you off right at EWR

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

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?

They kept knocking stuff all night to fix it and then left a large floor fan running. I understand it’s tough reopening so don’t want to push, plus they upgraded our room at check in.
