LinkedIn private mode not really private?? I viewed a profile of a person not in my network and then a few days later I got a connection request. I thought it was a coincidence. Then I viewed another person profile and a few days later they viewed my profile. I double checked I was in private mode but I’m doubting it actually works now.

Nope, even if they have premium it will remain private, pay attention to the settings, there are different options of what level of info will be shared , ultimately for all private viewing you will also lose access to view anyone that has viewed you

You may show up as a “people you may know” recommendations by LinkedIn depending on similarities with the person, role, industry etc . Some may send an invite to connect , based on that recommendation.

I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.

Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.

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?

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
