Hey, Fishies! We’re launching our first Interview/Q+A series "Portfolio Rewind: Would You Hire You?"
Like a portfolio review in reverse, creative leaders will share work they created when they first started out and critique it as if were a book that had just landed in their inbox. Then, tell us if they’d hire their younger selves knowing, and expecting, what they do now.
Drop in for get the chance to ask questions, and get your book reviewed by our guest. Hope you can make it!

Move dilemma:
Currently @ Arthur D. Little Limited Dubai as SE Manager w/ base comp of 285k $ + 10-15% bonus. Vert limited fit w/ people & projects in the region (MEI) & not motivated by seniors. Not happy w/ the job but good WLB. Very likely to promote to Pr which would include a 20-30% jump in total comp but shift to more variable
Move to MBB as PL. Projects & people are supposed to be great and he could see himself in the long run. Comp is 170k $ + 60% bonus. Will take 1.5y to move to Pr
PwC pls fix

Cheapest? Train to Penn station and bus to JFK. (Or, if you have any National free days, use one — they work on one way rentals.)
Best? Fly to JFK.
Theyre showing 300 one way for 4 people. Am i doing something wrong
Amtrak or bus to Penn Station then take the E from Penn Station to eventually transfer to JFK AirTrain
I always get my Amtrak tickets for 26

There’s some very cheap buses between DC and NYC. Like $20 cheap. I used to take them out of DC Chinatown to near MSG for the w/e.
In that case,, hitchhike — it’s free
You're looking for $100 total for four people with lots of luggage? Besides hoofing it there's no way it'll cost under $100. Maybe take greyhound type buses to port authority then take the E train, but even that'll likely be a little over $100 and fam will be miserable. Can you afford a little more? Pack sandwiches and water bottles, don't spend money on food at the airport and that'll save you $50 already...
There is nothing cheaper than $100 that will be remotely comfortable or give you any kind of schedule certainty. You’ll have to leave early and budget an extra day’s hotel spend, which will wipe out any savings anyway.
Considering the number of people and luggage you have. I would say rent your option of renting a van and driving up would be your best bet. Hard to beat 200 especially for that many people.
You can take AMTRAK straight to Manhattan then Uber or take a shuttle
If you can fly from Newark instead (usually cheaper), Amtrak will take you straight to the airport
Well not quite (you need to take the air train).
Sneak on a freight train. May take you a few days but could be less than $100.

Not if they offer favors to the conductor.
Switch your flight to DCA or Dulles ?
You got some money to give me since youre so uncheap?
