Live in midtown east, and I have to get to EWR by 4:45am (6AM flight).

Would you:

1) leave at 3:30, MTA to Penn, then NJ Transit to EWR
Or
2) Uber to EWR at 4am

Uber. It’ll be cheap during non-peak hours and I’d have peace of mind for 4am

Uber. My peace of mind and comfort is way more important at that time.

MTA is unreliable between midnight and 5am

At that time of night/day.. Uber

Take the Uber during this time, especially if you’re doing it solo. But make sure to have time to book your Uber bc depending on where you live, there might not be one immediately available and you’ll have to wait.

No. Uber, your time is too valuable.

Might be cheaper with Carmel or one of the other car service companies. They always show up on time/early.

There’s a shuttle near grand central that’s like $17. Forget the name but at that time I would take an Uber

I’d also check in online and just bring a carry-on and get there at 5:30 instead (assuming you have precheck). Also, if you’re only flying at that time because it was the cheapest option, you may be able to do a same day confirmed change free of charge 24 hours before the flight you’d like to take (depending on their airline and your status)

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector.

I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.
