ORD is a cluster. Leaving the house an hour before flight time was probably ill advised.

Delays?

ORD is always a cluster, they also have terrible climate control in there. Always hot as hell in there.

On any day that's a bad strategy for ORD

Thankful for a 20 min delay. Normally about 6 people in line at 8:20pm on Monday night means I get from Logan to the gate in 30. greatly underestimated the holiday crowd. All's well that ends well.

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.

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?
