United lost my son's car seat on a 3 hr flight. It was registered as a checked luggage with the proper csrseat tag and everything. After following up with an agent after we landed, they said it stayed in EWR and they are working to get it shipped to me in the next day or so while I'm on vacation. Anyway to get points for the inconvenience, I'm Premier platinum if it matters. They did give me a free loaner carseat until mine arrives but it's kinda crappy tbh.

I work for a few partners. While some partners tell me I’ve done a great job and make minor edits to my work product (i.e. organization of points, finessing certain arguments, etc.), one partner in particular tells me I’ve done a good job but rips apart my drafts, uses my foundation and redrafts the entire thing. Am I doing something wrong? I have reached out to the partner several times to find out if there’s any feedback I can use to improve my work, but I’m always told everything is fine :/

Dallas vs Boston in terms of opportunities for consulting and tech product management role roles? Dallas seems to more affordable and better standards of living and better weather as compared to Boston (although summers do get a little hot i know).

Please help. I am debating between taking the gre and the gmat. On quant, I scored very high on in practice exams for the gre but the highest I got on on the gmat was 55th percentile. Verbal is the opposite, but the degree to which my quant score on the gmat is low is worse I think than the degree to which my verbal score on the gre is low (if that makes sense). Should I take/report gre? I’m wondering if well-written essays make up for a lower than average (by like 2-4 points) verbal gre score

Partners. Do team members just come and go from your perspective? Feeling very disengaged and demotivated… do leaders actually care to talk people through these low points in their careers or is this something we need to figure out on our own? Want to talk it out but feeling like a burden more than anything.

How do you take up the salary talk? I am an Analyst and pretty much new to corporate world and obviously consulting too. So, what I have noted is that, salary is brought up at 2 points 1. When initially the HR calls and ask about current salary and expectations (or this is through an application form) 2. When cleared all rounds, towards the end just before or after sharing the offer letter. How to take up the conversation at each time? And when do you tell your expectations?

Does anyone know what the TC, base, and bonus is at McDonald’s (corporate)? For example, a manager or senior manager position. Other comparable QSR industry jobs/data points also welcome.
