How many times have you moved for work?

I’m talking packed up and left for an opportunity. I’ve always thought it was unfortunate that there’s only a handful of “advertising cities” in the US. And remote work is next to impossible to find these days.

Twice. I live in NY but if you commute from the surrounding area it can be easier/harder to commute to certain areas within the city depending on if you require a train, bus, or have parking available to you.

Honestly done with it at this point. I’ve since married and when you also have to account for another person’s career or buying/selling a home it’s not as easy to pickup and go.

Too many. 5x.

About to be 3 times - hoping this time I stay put for longer

2x, don’t plan on doing it again, but would for the right opportunity.

As a family (spouse and I) - 3 times.

Two international to a different continent, one across the country (east to west coast).

twice in my first year

Four. Was finally able to move back home during the remote era but guess that’s coming to an end.

Twice

10…a lot. It definitely takes a lot of energy and extracts a toll, because a “full restart” is essentially required in each move - personal living, administrative, professional, establishing office and client relationships, etc.

Just got a job at Deloitte M&A in Atlanta and am currently looking to buy a house. Would you advise I buy closer to Atlanta or the suburbs?

Would you advise I try and stay closer to the office?

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?

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
