Depends on where you live. I’ve been here 15 years and I definitely know which areas to stay away from during certain times. At the end of the day, it’s just like any big city.

Seems like there are a lot of nice restaurant’s there on google maps tho. Do you just mean West Philadelphia in general

I used to work in CC but took SEPTA in daily from the burbs. Never had a problem but like others said just be aware. It’s like any other major city.

Honestly Philly is very chill. Fantastic restaurants, you’ll always find something to do as well and rent is moderate IMO

I’m in a weird situation where I don’t hate my job because I love the work/life balance but the jobs I’m doing aren’t really portfolio worthy. I’m at war with myself where I want to do great work/continue upward career wise but don’t want to sacrifice the work/life balance. I just hit a year — should I start looking now or wait it out?

Hey all!
I'm from Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. I graduated in Psychology and coz of interest and passion for data, I did a certificate course of Data Science and Analytics (learnt basics of python and R). Now for +1.5 yrs I'm working as a Data Analyst. Coming from a non-coding background, I think not much opportunities are available for me to grow in this field. Can somebody pl guide me how can I excel in this emerging stream and upgrade my coding skills.
Thank you 😊

Where would you go internationally to celebrate a milestone bday? Not as big of a partier anymore but am a huge foodie and prefer destinations that provide a lot to do (whether active/sporty or sight seeing, I’m not into beach lounging/just sitting around).
