What’s the longest time you’ve been stuck on the plane while waiting for take-off? ~2 hours current wait time sitting on this play in RDU going to ATL and then SFO. Long night 😔

Six hours, decades ago in biz class on Singapore air. On a flight that was the equivalent of a red eye.

It was great, I slept and then awoke to royal treatment.

9 hours - but that is no longer legal. It was NYC to Dallas and while on the plane I opened a complaint with the FAA, not that it mattered.

I think around 5 hrs. Newark to DC which made it all the worse, I could have taken many other forms of transportation for a 40 min flight. They brought us back to the gate at whatever the legal limit it is to hold you on the runway.

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?

PSA - We are headed into a self-imposed economic slow down. Now is not the time to lateral but if you do, I would make sure you are at a recession-proof practice or firm.

Latham did it in the 2008 and 2011 and it will happen again. If you are an associate or really anyone but a rainmaker, you are expendable.
