- How are things at Uber? I was just looking through my Uber trip history (basically reminiscing) and realized I’ve taken 3 Uber trips since March 2020, down from ~5/week from before. The pandemic has obviously affected Uber’s rideshare business — but would love to hear from employees on how they’re feeling. Is the team wor

While they have travelled outside India a couple times, it's mostly in large groups in South Asia. This will be their first trip to the USA and they are not big walkers. Looking for ideas for things to do, places to see, drink
- Weird Amazon Onsite Invite I passed the OA and the phone screen, and I got an invite to what I assume is the "onsite", but that word is never used in the email. And most strangely they describe the interview as "This is an opportunity for you to meet the team virtually and get a firm understanding of our culture here at AWS".

- Is Irvine a good place to settle down? Sick of the Bay Area. High prices, aggressive work-first culture, and subpar infrastructure. But I love the weather and proximity to places like Tahoe, LA and everything in between. Looked at Austin but it’s too hot and I don’t do well with allergies. Irvine looks pretty decent and I might make a

- AWS Onsite Seattle - Worth it? I got a request to fly to Seattle to do an on-site for a TPM role (on their dime). I am not crazy about the role and hear the AWS culture is toxic and wlb is crud. I am comfortable at Salesforce and Approved for HC from Google. I hear the base at AWS maxes out at $160 which is below what I am now..
- Move to Denver or Salt Lake City? Hey y’all, I recently secured a permanent remote gig and I’m trying to move west from the Northeast. I’ve visited both for each about a week. I’ve narrowed down my choices to Salt Lake or Denver, taking into account costs, and airport access which I need. Other primary reasons are proximity to nat

- Celebrating Life Outside Work I see absolutely no relevance in this blind goose chase at work (no pun intended) I’m sick of pretending like I care about the devices we make, about the customers, about the quality of my work. This whole process is so fricking futile and moot. Why are we not going on more trips with our parents?

What I mean by dry is, everything is way too formal, unlike in India, where you can see that connect forming with your fellow colleagues. I mean, for me, I think office should be fun + work, but in US, it seem
