Atlanta office is tiny from what I understand. Chicago is a much bigger and cooler office.

And personally, despite the weather, I love Chicago as a city a million times more than Atlanta. You couldn’t pay me enough to live in Atlanta

Chicago > you won’t regret it tbh.

Thanks! Does choice of offices actually matter in the post COVID world?

G4 - yes, only looking at career opportunities in those offices. I believe there is lot of information out there about the cities themselves but what’s not readily available is inside scoops on the offices.

Chicago

Fellow fishes, an observation. What explains the sudden rise in salaries in new hires.
In 2017/8, $/₹ was 65. Today it's at 80. That's a 20% depreciation over 2017/8 levels. Now, between then and now, salaries may have been corrected 50%. Factor in inflation, and you will see that the hike is just about 20% over a 4 time period. Doesn't seem like big number anymore.

2. I was told that they’ll give me 15 mins to prep after the case study is shared live, would you suggest I build a 1 pager or is that not required?Google
