I have never played golf. I am mostly looking for something that’s just relaxing. I have been working 12-15 hours for the last 7 weeks so I don’t even have the energy to make some large plans. Lol.
Won’t mind taking an Amtrak to another town south in IL but I am unfamiliar really with anything outside Chicago

A 30 minute massage then just going through the baths. Even a 30 minute massage was amazing, but I would have wanted more!

Bike the 606 trail or the lake front trail.

like

You can walk too, both great options and give you a lot of things to do in those areas. 606 trail has Wicker Parking shopping/food and Lake Front trail has Lincoln Park Zoo (free).

Recommend checking out the Jparker hotel for rooftop drinks, should be nice a nice time

Food: Smoque BBQ on Pulaski - it’s a hidden gem; Chicago isn’t known for bbq but this place is great

To do:
- sports game - and go hang around the area of the e stadium early to get the full experience - Sox, cubs, and hawks are all in season

- go up to Evanston and walk around the lake and Northwestern campus; grab a beer or lunch somewhere

- Chicago river walk - if you haven’t spent time walking this and getting drinks / appetizers it’s a great choice; you could even take a water taxi or rent a boat

Hello fishes,

I have 6 and half YOE in front end development. (angular and hybrid applications). I joined my current organization ( product based) in Feb for 24LPA. The work here is too stressful and there is absolutely zero WLB. So I decided to start looking out again. However I am not getting good interview calls. Are most companies not hiring now ? Or could it because my CTC is too high ?
