Lyft NYC
Heard Lyft is opening an NYC engineering office. Looking at jumping ships. Lyft friends, any idea where the engineers are? I know about the office in Long Island City. Uber NYC office is a shithole, good people but awful physical location and I just can't handle it anymore. Any interview tips or tricks?

How many people they gonna hire by year end?
Meatpacking District is the sole cause of you wanting to leave?
Uber engineering is not in meatpacking. It's at 28th and New Jersey. 636 w 28th The office itself is literally used to film SVU because it's that sketchy looking. It is an active warehouse and is landmarked, so the awfulness is locked in forever (renovations are hard). The floors aren't even level where I sit...chair slides around. Fire alarm goes off all the time It's about a ten minute walk to the 7 and about 15+ to the C/E, which are the closest subway lines. The bad commute is a factor
No teams yet. Its just getting started. Just 5 engineers across various teams
I think we poached an Uber eng to lead it, Garrett Van Ryzin
