Looking for career advice for a mentee who has two competing Internship offers as a sophomore from Google and Uber. Initially encouraged him to pick Google because of brand name, but the Uber offer pays an extra $10k over the summer and he supports himself through college so it is a material difference. Also from what I've heard, it's easier to get a return offer from Uber than Google's soph program.
Which would you take and why? I'm not in the tech field so trying not to give bad advice 😁

We are sick of people trying to tear this country apart!

I have 100+ y.o. Omega pocket watch that’s passed on in our family. It looks amazing, and it feels like a waste for it just to dust in the box. But do people really wear pocket watches nowadays or would it be too weird especially for a female?

When buying a $5k+ watch, do most people pay immediately (ie put it on their credit card), or do people typically do some type of installment/financing plan?
