How useful is Priority Pass? Got it with CSR, but it seems like all the available lounges are only in the international terminal (fly out of SFO and ORD mostly)

They’re adding a lot of restaurants, I think it’s at 20, that allow you to spend $28 for you and $28 for a guest. If your home base has one of these it’s well worth it.

I don’t find it that useful. In the past couple years I’ve used it only once. They’re just usually too out of the way (like in the international terminal) for it to make sense to go to one unless you have a lot of time before your flight

I'm finding the Amex lounge access to be far superior than just Priority Pass. Centurion lounges themselves are not everywhere, but they've partnered with a number of Independents where Priority Pass is lacking

Just out of curiosity, does CSR PP also allow you access to all Delta lounges like AMEX platinum?

A1 - Sky clubs aren't included

It’s hit or miss. Usually miss since the partner lounges can be a little weak - small, and definitely cramped with a ton of people using it. The restaurants are awesome though

Completely useless

I found it useful - used it weekly when traveling from SJC

EY - "partnered with independents" - which independents are you talking about exactly? The only ones I am aware of have a total combined lounge count of 6 lounges or so 😆

BA1, to answer your question PP usefulness is super dependent on what airport you fly out of. To give a few examples:
-At ORD it's useless since the PP lounges are in a separate international terminal
-At DFW, use it all the time at the Minute Suites they've partnered with
-at IND I use it to grab dinner before my flight at a restaurant they've partnered with

TSC1:

Maybe it's just the projects I keep ending up on, but so far this year I've been flying through airports every week where Amex has had a presence and PP has had none or a weak one (looking at you, MSP)

Specifically, between Centurion, Airspace, Escape, and PP I'm almost always covered (and choose in that order)

You must getting really lucky! Airspace + Escape have 5 locations and Amex Centurion lounges have 9 locations, compared to PP's 1200+. Agreed that Centurion lounges are far superior to the competition when you can find them tho

I use it often for international

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?
