15k delta miles. Can I fly anywhere from Chicago? How do I find my options?

Reminiscing about travelling. Random question: which hotel had the best toiletries? My fave has to be the Asprey ones from Ritz Carlton

Saw an offer on my Amex gold for 5+ rewards points for every dollar on Amazon up to 1500 points. So $300 spend. Marriott, Marriott luxury, Best Western, JetBlue and Doubletree are/were available on Amex Plat too. Best offfers set I’ve seen in a long while

Are there real benefits flying in compression socks? I do since I fly cross-continent but not sure they actually do anything. Thoughts?

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.

I'm currently a property accountant with an MBA in finance. I desire to earn more income considering my credentials and experience. I currently earn 93k and striving to get to 150 or even 200 to be able to live the way I want to live, pay for good schooling for my children, eat organic, travel etc. Even to buy a nice house in a great neighborhood is at lease a million.

Boarded a flight and then the entire plane deplaned due to "security issue" - reboarded an hour later but will miss my connection causing a 6 hour delay to my destination. Points? Or an airport issue?

After a bunch of departures I am now handling international sales and dealing more with our reps in China. I know they’re strict with travel and COVID isolation- but curious how it is for Americans traveling… are there any special procedures? I’m down in NC and most people aren’t masking anymore- so just wondering if Americans traveling are being enforced to follow their COVID protocols?

My bf wants to hang out every day, and when I don’t see him he gets upset and whines. It makes me really uneasy to not have at least one weekend day and one week night alone. Is that too much to ask for?

Any Indian national recently came to US through the London Heathrow airport.

Parents coming from India and have a layover at London airport. Are there any covid restrictions we need to worry about?

I’ve been taking 70mg vyvanse and 20mg non time release adderol for years now. And I definitely still take more pills than prescribed. Yea I like the slight rush I get but in general I have bad anxiety and am out of energy if I don’t take anything. I get paralyzed to do the most simple things without the meds. I can’t help but take more than I’m supposed to, has anyone successfully quit meds and still was able to focus, have motivation, and energy?

Just curious, how often do you guys make mistakes as an analyst (nearing the end of your first or second year)?
