Not sure if buying miles would give you MQM. You have to buy status qualifying miles which are much more expensive

Add’l details: switched firms mid year and now am 80% travel. Delta is my primary but do use all carriers if need be.

Yes

For 400 miles, go somewhere for a day. Bring the SO

For future reference, sometimes it’s helpful to buy up to first (if you can find a cheap fare) to get the 50% mqm bonus on miles traveled. And sometimes if you same day confirm change to a flight with one seat remaining, you get 100% mqm bonus on miles traveled

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
