Agree! It’s not needed to get by, but definitely a very useful skill around here.

HOAs can f up your life, owning is hard in Miami, insurance is expensive

How expensive it would have gotten. If I knew my rent was going to double in 3 years I would never have come here

That it is basically an extension of Latin America and almost half of SoFlo doesn’t speak English (including all housekeepers, plumbers, electricians, handymen, retail workers, etc).

The question was asked of transplants who didn’t grow up in Miami. You’re clearly not in that bucket PwC1 if you grew up in Hialeah

What is the culture like, type of work and reputation of Capco in the Data & Analytics space?

I have some good ex colleagues who moved over there and also looked up on LinkedIn and see lots of seemingly smart and accomplished people in their D&A team in the UK.

I'll ask my ex colleagues too, but wanted to see if people here have any opinion or information on this too.

TIA

I have been working in SEA region last 4 years. I feel burned out. I have 10yoe, I have try to move to other country but I pretty much suck in LeetCode. I want to take some time off to unwind, finish some personal business, and really prepare for interviews. I would like to hear from you. Should I quit to my current manager(5th so far) or wait after mid year performance review, when a new boss will take over my team? I'm thinking on giving them 2 months notice period. By contract is 1.

Thanks
