Square Reviews

I don't get people who buy huge mcmansions in the exurbs in the middle of the friggin' nowhere, and then complain that their work commutes take too long. Guess what - you can safely "sacrifice" all that square footage you're never going to use for a smaller place closer to "civilization". And use public transit to commute.

Going to a movie Sunday night at the AMC Lincoln Square. Any recommendations for good spots to grab dinner around there?

Looking to pivot into DS from a non-technical career (28M). Have an economics degree, but no real working knowledge with CS or statistics. Not as much worried about my ability to pick up statistics, SQL, or Python, but I’m definitely starting from square one. Are bootcamps really worth it? Any other tips for some starting new? Was planning on doing an intro course on a MOOC to get my feet wet first.

I've been trying to exit to tech for the past 12-15 months, and have gotten 0 offers despite several FAANG interviews, including some final rounds. What should I do? Spend $$$ on resume prep and interview coaching? Restart from square one to reevaluate what I'm targeting? Take a shotgun approach to get more interviews and hope I get lucky?

Does anyone know worklife balance or culture at Square? Debating an exit there and wondering what that may look like. I don’t know much about tech but is it safe to assume a tech company smaller than FANGG would still have good WLB?

Random question here. I have residential vacant land (almost 9,000 square feet) that I’m holding for appreciation purposes and potentially building on one day. The town requires me to mow it so the grass and weeds don’t grow too high. Any permanent solution to destroy grass or weeds forever so that they’d never grow again? Looking for a low cost solution. FYI weed killers only work for 3-4 weeks maximum and it’s too much to spray. Also, land has no access to water.

I have offers from various Fintech companies including Plaid, Square and Robinhood, for non-tech roles. Scope of roles is relatively the same across the board as well as comp today (base, equity). Any thoughts on business outlooks for these companies and what makes more sense from a career growth+compensation standpoint (upside)? Robinhood Plaid Square
