Got a verbal offer for JPMorgan Chase . The recruiter tells me that the team sits in Jersey City ( this wasn’t mentioned until now ) . I live in the Bronx and don’t drive . Does anyone have a similar commute experience or know if the company has shuttle services ?

I joined during the pandemic and live in Harlem. Best I can do is take the subway town the wtc and the path. It’s perhaps the single largest reason I’m looking for another position. It was fine when we went in two days a week but I’m hearing rumors we’ll be going in five days starting next year. I’m trying to see if I can’t sit in another office but I got a lot of resistance. I don’t fully get the strict requirement to be in person when we do 99% of our meetings on zoom.

I like getting out of my tiny nyc apartment to go to a quiet space to work, but I’m wasting so much time commuting and it’s not imperative for my responsibilities. Tbh I’d reject it if you can’t go somewhere else I almost wish I did.

You know it used to be great six months ago when we were still at 50% going 2 days a week. It felt like when they wanted to go back to full capacity they didn’t bother to do a headcount. It’s far to busy now.

No shuttle service it’s up to you to get there but it’s a hybrid work environment so at least you’re not force to come in all 5 days. You definitely should’ve asked this during interviews

They ask where you are located and the address listed on the role description is Manhattan . It’s really an easy miss of communication since people think the commute shouldn’t be difficult between Jersey City and Manhattan

For what position?

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am).

I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?
