I've generally just stopped flying into NYC during normal hours. I can't believe there is no good rail service into those airports.

To be fair, they are in construction

No train is because long ago LGA became overcrowded while no one wanted to use NWK or JFK. Lack of train was deliberate to encourage use of other airports... Also the reason there is a distance restriction on departing flights

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?
