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

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
