Why are NJ and other commuters paying for NY trains?? Congestion pricing... How does this make sense?

It’s worse than just saying we have to pay for their train system. At this point, none of the revenue will be given to PATH or NJ Transit, which will be forced to handle more riders. (The only way to argue against that fact would be to say people who drive into nyc will simply not go into the city anymore; cut down on commuters who work in NYC, and we all know that’s not the intent.) So like most tax and spend solutions, the pols will turn a blind eye, then express shock when the “unforeseen” consequences all come to fruition. Massive overcrowding on NJT, delays at NYPenn unlike ever seen before, more calls for a new tunnel, etc etc.

I know that's depends on the amount I have to travel (and potentially stay) but at the moment this is unknown. Past 8 months was just twice a month + 2 nights stay.

The only thing I know is it won't be every week, the return trian ticket is about £80-100, depends I could plan ahead.

Hello Fishes,

Any idea when we get relieving letter/service certificate from TCS?

My LWD was 16th September and I received FNF 10 days before. Also got initial release letter on my LWD.

I see so many issues in this organisation.
When I joined TCS after 5 days of joining they used to mail me every week for 5 continuous weeks and asked me every time for previous organisation relieving letter.
But they themselves don’t share it and delay a lot.


Anyone please advise.

Companies like Deloitte, futurebridge, pwc, ey research, etc are offering good packages. Some are offering work from home and some are asking to relocate.

Please don't hesitate to relocate. Interviews are annoying but trust me be positive. Don't choose convenience over carrier. It's high time and grab as much you can. Situations are already worsening elsewhere. Grab as much as you can before the wave hits india.

Hope you get selected in the right one
