Favorite hotel in NOLA and why? Traveling there for fun with my wife, our 3 kids and our nanny. Extra points for restaurant reccos. Will Venmo you a shot if you have solid reccos for live music of the blues and hard rock/metal variety. Last time I was there was for my bachelor party so it’s been more than a few years. To save some respondents the time: we aren’t an airbnb family - I like being able to order a cocktail or three to the room and have a hand with the family of 5+1 luggage.

Bonus points if they hire international talent (I'm Australia based).

Thank you in advance.

Travel and TTC combo haven’t worked. After 6 months, the only offer I got included 4 weeks paid and FLMA only after 1 year. So 1) go and risk laughable benefits or 2) stay but risk TTC. So shitty 😭

When drafting a brief or other submissions for court or arbitration, do you use words such as clearly, erroneously, etc. to emphasize certain points? Our managing partner says that we should, but all of the writing guides for litigators that I've read repeats the mantra "show, don't tell" and explain that most judges dread such words.

I know that the politically correct thing to do here is to do whatever the managing partner wants me to do, but I just wanted to ask for other ppl's opinion.

Deliveroo Software Engineer or IBM Tech Consulting?

Need advice. Top performer. Team members have been leaving and I have a stupid amount of responsibilities. I’m not complaining about that but some were very swiftly transitioned while I was dealing with other work streams. TLDR: I am super burnt out and am one of two people who does any technical work. I randomly get forwarded emails from my lead about work steams that predate my tenure on the project. I can’t do it anymore and I’m losing my mind. I’m an analyst so don’t know what do.
