Firm stopped allowing Uber blacks recently and I am looking to lateral to a firm that allows Uber blacks. It’s the sole reason I am leaving. At a good shop, but imagine pulling a 3AM and having to get carsick on your way home with a sketchy guy in a smelly car who’s blasting Akon.
I know this sounds ridiculous but it’s true and Uber has no standards in NY.

How is that possible?
This is the kind of content that WSO needs
Interviewer: That is all I have. We got 5 minutes for any questions you have. You: Would you allow me to order Uber Black at night? If so, how much damage am I gonna incur financially? On a serious note, I think there should be a thread about which banks offer what perks. Gotta know before the interview and it is always fun shaming a stingy bank/group 🫡
I agree

Would LOVE to see this (and just how jipped I am actually getting fml)
I need to know

Any banks offering Blades instead of Ubers?
Majority do for back office software engineers only. It is why I thank god everyday for not a hippie peasant.
PE shop I'm at doesn't have comped Ubers or food.
Lmao what type of place is that? Even the lowest of the low LMM places I've interviewed at have comped food and Ubers
Ever heard of a search fund?
what kinda music do they play in Uber Blacks?
only the finest of the fine - 15th century italian renaissance classics
“Wipe Me Down”
- Boosie Badazz
Bach Harpsichord Concertos
My man, the pro-tip here is to order only Electric Comforts if your firm won’t let you order Uber Blacks. Guaranteed to be at least a Tesla (usually a Y, S or X) and half the time the same type of ride you’d receive anyways since Teslas count as a Uber Black anyways.
Plus, you can claim you’re doing your part as part of the ESG movement to ‘help the planet’ 😉

Revel is top tier
I was with you til the very last part. We should change the national anthem to "smack that" as far as I'm concerned. Akon is a giant of western culture
You should have to walk home from the office barefoot
you're the problem. i live in the office to minimize commute times, which i then leveraged to further create shareholder value
Try Uber comfort instead
I feel like uber has no standards everywhere. Especially here in Houston. If you order an X it's guaranteed you'll get a pungent car with stained seats and the driver asking how much you pay for rent once you pull up to the apartment.
This might be one of the funniest yet truest things about Houston
Glad to know I'm not the only one - I love my Uber Execs (I'm in LDN) after work. Fuck UberX
Does PJT still have an Uber Black-only policy or not anymore?
