Long term engagements that far away should be evaluated as to whether or not you enjoy spending the weekends in the location and/or don’t have major commitments at home. I did an assignment in San Jose (from jfk) every week for 3 months. Stayed one weekend due to commitments at home It was super hard.

I don’t find the Phoenix area tremendously interesting but if you’re looking for outdoors things to do and plan to stay some weekends, northern Arizona is beautiful and not that far away.

If you have a lot on going on at home, 10+ hours per week on a plane is likely suboptimal unless you can get a commitment to some work from home weeks.

Also remember that southern Arizona is entering into its hottest time of year. Yes, it’s a dry heat (except monsoon season typically in July). But 110° F is still 110°.

I did it from April until Sept a few years ago. it really depends on your team and project. The area is super fun on weekends, great restaurants and nice outdoors!

Depends on your hotel budget - if you can get away with a resort property like the phonecian you could do a lot worse being stuck somewhere

During the summer months you can frequently stay at the nicer resorts for dirt cheap

Awesome place. Great hot party scene, plenty of outdoor adventures, reasonably low cost. Have a great time.

Hi everyone! First time using this app. I always wondered, how are other IT help desk jobs? I’ll share how mine is.
I work at an MSP (Managed Service Provider) meaning we are the IT services for many other companies. It’s busy all the time and I get to experience all different types of apps, OSes, and almost every aspect of IT in this way. I make around 50k which is alright but its hectic as there’s too many tickets and not enough personnel. I heard this is common but I’m not sure.

Absolutely. Businesses can be ethical by treating people the way they’d want to be treated. 3 ways Airbnb can do this: Aggressively fight fraudulent listers, let Airbnb members control their data (allow data requests/permissioning/deletion from any state or country), and oh - make it easy for people to get their money back if their travel was affected by covid-19. How not to be ethical: marketing ethics vs living them.

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.
