Moved to Dallas a few months ago, anyone else think it’s strange that so many neighborhoods use rear entry garages and people drive through alleys to get to them? Never saw these growing up.

Not texas, only dallas

I grew up in California with front garages. Lived in Chicago for 10 years, where all garages open to the alley. Now in UP, same deal. 

It makes you realize how absolutely architecturally atrocious front garages are. Seriously, who wants to stare at a giant piece of sheet metal as 50% of the facade?

False tradeoff. You can move the square footage wherever you want. Eh make the for t yard small by pushing the house to the front if you want to maximize backyard.

Thats is very normal here. Welcome to Texas

I agree. I can’t stand the rear entry garage. You give away half your backyard just so the front (that you won’t ever use) is untouched.

I guess it’s a preference, but I made sure my agent didn’t show me anything with a. Rear entry garage.

It’s so that the streets would look extra nice without cars, but so many people use their garage as storage and park out front anyways. Then the narrow streets are impossible to drive through because of all the cars out front. I hate them. I’d rather have a full back yard.

Hi Fishes,

I got an offer from PwC. The joining date that I had agreed from my side was 2 June. But I don't know that even in probation the NP is 90 days (it was mentioned in the release doc as 1 month but I didn't take that screenshot as proof). I told the whole issue to my recruiter and she sent a confirmation mail stating that she will revise my joining date by 90 days without issue. Is there any chance they can revoke the offer? I have put down my papers already.

How realistic is it to go from no computer science degree, to getting Salesforce certs and an admin role?
