I fell asleep on the plane from DCA > CLT today and had a dream that American Airlines instituted a new policy where the entire flight is just a nonstop ad for their rewards credit card, and they stop announcing it only if 50% of passengers completed an application.

Ps: in that same note, I got talked into signing up for a platinum card by Delta agent- you pay a fee, but there are supposed to be all sorts of benefits, including free tickets, upgrades, and so on. I get my card and paperwork and it says you get this after spending $25,000 first year. So I went and booked a work trip to Barcelona using card last night, price over $2300. Card is declined, I call AmExp and the card only has a $1300/month limit. ☹️🤯😵‍💫. So had to use my current Delta AmExp card. No way to get to $25k when you can only book $1300/ month. What a ripoff. I was taken by Delta!!!

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?

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
