Does anyone still have actual cubicles in their office? We switched to an open concept setup after COVID and never went back. Each team has its own area, but it’s still a daily race to grab the “good” seats. Part of me really misses the old cubicle days. Having a little corner that was yours, with some privacy and fewer distractions. Curious if others feel the same or if open layouts have grown on you.

Im currently in an open floor plan. I prefer the cubicles. Best of both worlds you had your own space and you can still walk around and communicate/collaborate. I feel like most people wouldn’t mind coming in they didn’t want to reserve a desk.

I agree. Cubicles really felt like the best of both worlds. Your own space, but still easy to collaborate.
And not having to reserve a desk would make a big difference. Having a consistent spot just makes coming in feel less annoying.

We tried an open floor plan for awhile, and ended up going back to cubicles when productivity tanked. Turns out that it's easier to focus when we are not surrounded by distractions.

Got 2 offers:
Lucidworks - 33
Boeing - 35(Verbal offer after countered them with lucidworks offer).

Now with freshworks, last round is pending.
Let me know what would be better.

From interview perspective, I enjoyed lucidworks interview as the interviews taken by quality people compared to other two companies. But it is a startup.

Btw, I have been interviewed for 6 rounds in Citrix and waiting to hear from them.

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.
