Given the COVID situation: for someone traveling back to their home country. What is the best way to get out to EWR? I would guess yellow-cab, as they at least have the plastic separator? Thoughts?

Took an Uber which put up a plastic sheet in between front and back seats. EWR was absolutely DEAD. 8min from taxi to gate including checking bags. Spoke to one of the security personnel and they said traffic is down >90%

Thanks for your response. That’s good to know. So no need to be there hours ahead of the flight and risk at the airport itself thus also seems minimal.

Also: anyone recently been at EWR? How early should one be at the airport? Is it super quiet or crazy as hell?

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

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?
