What's the ultimate destination in the US? Decide based on which of EWR/ORD has more flights to that city by the same airline so that they can ve rebooked easily

Houston. On United. Both offer same number of flights currently

Personal experience so take it with grain of salt. EWR has one of the worst immigration officers. I would advise ORD (which is also slightly less crowded on international airport).

ORD is one of the worst airports just sea of people before Covid and miles of walking. People who complain about EWR have never been to ORD

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?
