I like Vamoose best, but it only leaves from Rosslyn and Bethesda. The Gold buses are a good midway point between the cheapest bus and Amtrak. I use Tripper a lot too!

Peterpan is pretty cheap

Washington deluxe!!

Train can be like 50 one way...

funny

It’s never this cheap. Last 10 train trips “oh it’ll be $50 each way”. Check Amtrak... oh, $280 RT....

Where are you going to be traveling from? Check out OurBus!

OurBus has a route from Union Station to Port Authority. Tickets will cost ~$100 round trip (depending on how early you book them). Solid service.

Tripperbus gives you every sixth ride free! Always really timely and pretty clean

I just do one way car rental. Cheaper than Amtrak even with all expenses included. And you don’t have to sit in the germ can

like

$23 southbound on tolls and about $20 gas. Rental is about $60. I have a rental return near my house and pick up in midtown Manhattan.

Washing deluxe seems to be the best balance of cost and quality.

I’ve had way too many bad experiences with megabus

like

From where? Eastern Bus is my go to for NYC. Zero frills but they‘re cheap even at the last minute (<$25) and go from DC Chinatown to Penn Station which can’t be beat

If going to Arlington to New York, Vamoose leaves from rosslyn

Have been in DC 9 years (undergrad and college), family lives in NYC. Washington Deluxe or Vamoose 1,000,000%. Standard or “gold” options.

Bestbus is solid - comfortable, clean, and cheap

Common knowledge is it is a disadvantage to the candidate from a salary negotiation process. I'm also told hiring decisions at places like AWS & GCP take time and it might be a few months before an offer letter is received.

I’m on a 6-month extendable contract and my manager really likes me; she always says that they want to convert me ASAP, however they don’t have the budget right now to hire me. They plan to hire me by the end of the year (7-month mark) but that means I won’t get paid for 3 days during thanksgiving and a whole week during December. How can I push for them to make me permanent as soon as possible? This is my first job out of college so I’m not sure how to approach this situation.

I’m thinking of picking up a few freelance projects to make the most out of our everlasting WFH situation. Does anyone have a freelance site they like and would recommend? There’s so many at this point, curious as to what everyone else is using and what kinds of projects you’ve been able to find.
