Daily Commuting options

Thanks for your input. One way fare on the train is 35 bucks. Car would work out to be more economical but I wonder how long it would take during rush hours. Is I-95 pretty congested? Does any one do this long a commute?

Question on H1-B status

Appreciate all your replies. As a follow up question, I was wondering if I can start working at a new employer before the last day at my current employer? I will be officially on payroll at two different places for a couple of days. Is this OK? Any ideas?

Top 10 Lies Told to Hiring Mgrs at Interview

Seriously...does someone know if previous salary history is some info that a current or former employer would provide if asked to by a potential employer? Is this state dependent or is it federal?

Top 10 Lies Told to Hiring Mgrs at Interview

Does anyone know if previous employment check done as part of the background check by a professional agency would uncover salary history also? If that is the case, then how do candidates get away by saying incorrect salaries in interviews?Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.
