New to NY and wondering how the hell to get to JFK from Brooklyn Heights area without either spending $100 on Uber or 2 hours on the subway. Are those really the only options??

Taxis to JFK are flat rate from Manhattan, so cross the bridge and grab a cab

Flat rate to and from Manhattan, but metered fare everywhere else. Depends on where you are in Brooklyn, but probably less than 100

Best car service: Jupiter 718-499-2222

Zipcar? Just spitballing haha but I assume there’s a drop-off near JFK

Carmel?

Yep

It’s not that long once you’re on the A train. Like one hour.

I took Via to/from the airport last week and it was $85 round trip. I live in midtown. Uber and Lyft were only minimally more expensive.

Hello all, i have. A question regarding compensation for a lateral move. I just received a job offer for an UA position from a competing cyber insurance carrier for $70,000 + bonuses. This job will be based out of San Francisco. I currently make $30/hour for the same role in Chicago, after OT it’s about $60,000. Do you think it would be wise to accept the offer? Thoughts in general?

Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.
