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?

I preferred the Sunday travel and red eye Wednesday return.
About to start the same. Planning to inquire about corporate apt to give more flexibility for travel schedules. Haven’t quite worked out the optimal flight times yet.
If you find yourself having to take the red-eye, hangout in terminal 3 (United terminal, I usually fly delta). T3 has all the restaurants and a pretty solid bookstore. Also, make sure to change into comfortable clothes while you wait for your flight. Cleanest bathroom is at T1 before you hit security; always empty of people.
As others have said, highly recommend flying out Monday morning. I would do an early Friday flight back that got me home by Friday afternoon and vastly preferred this to the Thursday night red eye
Interesting
I am on a project coast to coast now... I've negotiated to leave client site Thursday afternoon that way I can get home by midnight bypassing the red eye Thursday night flights which got me home previously at 5 or 8am.. I fly monday evening from the East and get west late evening I.e., 9 pm. If you can avoid red eyes try that it's rough on the body
I did this for 6 months. Use the time across to SFO to plan and catch up for the week ahead. And DONT work on the red eye back, it’s not worth it, use it to sleep or unwind and read. Find an airline card with lounge access or use Priority Pass access to make preflight more bearable
I have done this three times, and I would come in on a early flight most Monday’s (with the time change you can get to the client very early), and would sleep on the plane until 9am pacific time at least in an effort to pick up that extra sleep to get me through a super long day (often late night Monday meetings). I then have typically negotiated taking a red eye on Wednesday or an early Thursday morning flight every other week just so I’m not getting back at 1am Thursday every single week and being dead all weekend.
I keep myself on pacific time ish typically when I do this - staying up late when in New York. Try to sleep something like 10-5/6 on pst and 1-8/9 on the east coast during the weekend or on fridays (and just work more on central time)
Not drinking on the plane and rarely during the week, keeping up a work out and healthy eating schedule becomes 10x more important during this.
Similar to D2, I’d rather stay an extra night than red eye. I can accomplish more in 5 hours on the plane after a full night’s sleep than I can in 10 hours at the office after a redeye. You can normally leave early Monday and get to client late morning due to time difference.
Yeah the key priorities here are to 1) avoid redeyes and 2) keep as regular of a sleep schedule as possible regardless of time zone. Usually that means flying in Monday but not early morning given you’re losing 3 hrs, and flying back Thursday afternoon on a non-redeye flight or Friday morning. If Monday morning meetings are inescapable, flying Sunday evening is preferable to waking up early Monday.
I fly Charlotte to Los Angeles almost every week. I would suggest flying Sunday night and flying back Thursday morning. Either way you lose a work day and most project will not stand for being out Mondays. Do not do red eyes when you fly every week.
Going to do Monday 7 AM ET and leave Thursday 1:10 PT
