I live in the loop as well. If you have pre-check- your Uber should be leaving your place 5:25-5:30 to get there by 6.

Also take the blue line if you can. Cuts down on traffic-related stress. Source - i take it every week. Google maps it to plan what time to leave

Do you have precheck?

430 to 5

Frontera isn’t open this early

Thanks everyone! I do have precheck but will try to leave around 4:30 to be safe

Told you to do 5...

Agree with SC1. Once you have status, 5am will give you time to grab a coffee but until then you’ll have to stand in line. 4:30 is probably fine tho.

If it is united then 5am is spot on. You probably will have 15 minutes to grab breakfast from frontera too.

Depends if you like to get there early in case of any snafus, or if you like to minimize your wait time there and you expect it to be smooth sailing (est 30 to 45 minute difference in time). Also depends on if you have precheck (can make up to 30 minutes of a time difference). I have precheck and like to leave a cushion to minimize my stress. I would leave around 4.15 to 4.30 my first time.

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?
