Planning on traveling to NYC from Florida on the 26th of this month. I've been doing a lot of research but i can't find a direct answer for which would be the best airport to arrive at. We don't have anything set in stone, but we plan on staying maybe around lower Manhattan. This is our first time traveling there and I'd prefer the airport that will be the easiest and/or reasonably priced to get from the airport to that area. What is your advice? So far I'm hearing EWR & JFK > LGA.

EWR is far, and unless you’re comfortable taking the train (prob an hour), the cab will be $$$.
LGA is actually getting a lot better/cleaner, but you need a cab to/from.
JFK is either cab or train (multiple options including the LIRR or subway to AirTran). JFK has flat rate fares for yellow cabs to Manhattan.
I’d fly out of JFK and LGA before EWR.

Yes I used to take the bus all the time but don’t recommend figuring it out for a tourist, especially when LGA is still under construction

Jfk and ewr are easiest to take public transportation to. Use Google maps to compare. Lga is easiest to Uber to. If one airport is significantly cheaper just do that. Beware of airlines like spirt which charge extra for everything

Also I am sure you’re aware but to go to bars, eat inside, and any indoors entertainment you have to show your vax card. Photo is fine.

Look on Skyscanner for best prices. Use google maps to check for transit time and prices. EWR has nice train into the city, takes an hour to get in, then you’ll switch to local line to get to lower manhattan. I’ve always taken a cab or Uber from LGA, which is a little nicer now than it used to be. Taxi will be more expensive than a train.

Lga is the closest/easiest/cheapest if you’re willing to take a Uber ($30-50, and ~20-35min depending where you’re staying).
Ewr and jfk are equally good for public transit. ($10 and 60-90min)
As a result I always go lga since it is by far the quickest, but I Uber everytime

I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts?

Hi, I'm going on a family vacation to Dominican Republic in January. Looking for some suggestions on best things to do, see and experience.

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?

How many points? Caribbean Marriott Cat 3 property, 5 nights. They have an issue with the boiler so no hot water and shower stops in between. Ice cold showers for 4 days in a row 🥶. Hotel phones don’t work because network is down and only local channels work on tv. Last night they had a huge leak in the lobby. They kept knocking stuff all night to fix it and then left a large floor fan running. I understand it’s tough reopening so don’t want to push, plus they upgraded our room at check in.

When a new type of project comes in and you get assigned as the PM to “figure out” the project plan, how do you go about resource allocation? Sometimes I struggle to know what the team configuration should even be, because we’ve never done said project type before. It’s hard to know what type of people should be assigned, and at what % time, when there isn’t a preexisting process or work breakdown structure for the deliverables I’m being handed to “manage.” How do/would you handle?

Hi everyone! Idk if I need advice or I’m venting but I’ve been looking for jobs actively right now and want to make a switch soon. There’s a gap in terms or compensation for the jobs I’m being approached for. These jobs offer the same compensation I’m at or slightly higher (5-7%). This is demotivating and I honestly don’t know what to do. I don’t make an awful lot (105K in NYC) and I’m looking for a 20-30% bump in terms of compensation. Am I crazy here?
