Going to be north of London for 2 days in August! Near Euston station. What should I do? Easy to get around? Do they have Uber’s in Europe or just taxis?

Use the tube. Cheapest and fastest way to get around London

Uber is also great in Europe! Tube is really easy to navigate in London too!

Duck &waffle is an amazing restaurant if you want to splurge! Think they’re open 24 hrs too. Borough market is great for food, the hop on/hop off bus is cheesy but it’s a good way to see the city really fast. I lived there for a bit so if you want to elaborate on your likes/ what you wish to see, I can give you some more recommendations!

Tube is great! I lived in London. You should take the mothers line and visit Camden, lots of fun stuff there. If you like fancy them head to Hampstead station and a lot of cool stuff there too and expensive homes. It's also very easy to hit central London to party and and you can take the night bus back at night. Enjoy yourself and use that American accent on the ladies.

Sketch is a pretty cool tea spot!

Pwc2 thank you! I love history...I would like it to feel like I’m not in NYC. Also into a good beer and the best fish n chips the UK 🇬🇧 has to offer

I like the taxis. They’re not yellow cabs, but these classic black cars. The tube is good too.

Euston station is pretty central London. Kings cross is a couple stops away with almost every tube line and trains to tons of places. Since you’re there in August and like history, I would see if you can get tickets to tour Buckingham palace. It’s only open to tourists a few weeks a year while the queen is on summer holiday which is usually in July/August.

Dens le noir is the coolest restaurant I've been to in the world. Amazing experience that will blow your mind. (not necessarily unique to London but highly recommended it)
The mayor of scaredy cat Town is a cool veey unique bar.
Uber>tube for visit

If you have time to explore outside of London a trip to the Cotswolds or Stonehenge/Bath is worth it to see the countryside in UK

Jk just saw two days. I would do the bus tour the first day and go out for afternoon tea. And the second day I would watch the changing of the guard then go inside Buckingham for the tour and go to the market and maybe visit a park (Kensington is nice)

I would eat some bangers and mash!!!

If I accept one of these offers, that H1b transfer will take another 2months. Will resigning from A burn the bridges? How should I handle this?

So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
