99 nights this year - Marriott. No idea how. Should I check into a cheap courtyard or something to hit 100 nights this year? I’m lifetime platinum so the only thing I suspect I will lose is my ambassador? Anyone in the same boat and already done the research? No idea how Marriott is honoring status next year. Thanks!

Are there major differences between the big 4 San Francisco office vs the San Jose office for tax?

SLC folks: I lived there for a few months during the pandemic and fell in love. Was thinking of maybe trying to buy a condo and renting it out for a few years before moving over. Any places were I get a 1 bd / 1 br with a ~$100 - $150K downpayment? Probably not realistic in Sugar House, Avenues, etc. but curious if there's anything in a decent neighborhood.

I’m traveling internationally for the next year for my firm which generally has really only done domestic travel. I’m traveling 2 weeks at a time and our expense policy is written for 1 week domestic.

Hi all - does anyone know the opportunity for travel between EY firms internationally? Currently at Deloitte by looking to move somewhere where it’s easier to do time abroad and have heard EY is better for this. Thanks in advance.

I’m in my late 20s & very much single. Every time I bring up something I want to do (travel, adopt a dog, make a big life decision in general), my family always responds “you should wait until you meet the right guy to do that” as if I exist to be a man’s companion and not to be my own full fledged person. It’s to the point where I’m deeply frustrated and want to lose it on them. Advice/has anyone else dealt with this?

Senior analysts - how’s your WLB? What do think about returning to full travel?

Hey , I've tried looking for specific keyboard shortcuts for Google sheets but can't seem to find any. Before giving up, wanted to check with the experts for the following:
1. Turn on / off data filter (similar to Ctrl + Shift + L in Excel)
2. See drop-down options in a cell (similar to Alt + Down arrow key)
TIA!

Hi! My name is Sam & I am a UI/UX apprentice working for a tech company in the San Francisco Bay Area. I’m also currently finishing my Google UX certificate. I’m looking to find a full time job as a UI/UX designer. Can anyone send me some references or recommendations? Thanks in advance.

Thoughts on Seoul? Scott’s cheap flights notification for ~$800 from my home airport. Can possibly do a layover/visit in Toronto with the right flight selection as well. P

Hi All, I was offered a role with Aecoms San Francisco office working with an energy client for a midlevel associate environmental planner. I wanted to gauge what is a general salary that ones been offered on this team. I felt lowballed at $79k/annual, initially offered 74k. This is given that I had 1.5 years in land use planning and a recent masters graduate in urban planning.

The women on my team have all worked 7 days a week since early March; the men are all MIA on weekends. We‘re so busy that without us working weekends, there’s no way we’d keep up with our workload.

Currently looking to move to ATL for 3 months since my firm is still working remotely. Since HTX & ATL have similar COL, my budget would be similar to my living expenses on htx. Any recommendations on specific areas in ATL and housing?

Hate it when kids kick your seat throughout a 4hr flight and the parents are sleeping peacefully. Little mofos

I don’t know if I can do this anymore. Was an auditor for 3.5 years, then the travel got real old, but I didn’t want to leave so I went for a tax position in my group. Been in tax for 2 years and most days I question how anyone could find this interesting. I say the clients keep me in public because I’m a people person and like sales, but the clients are also a PITA. Been looking for an industry gig but noting seems to come up. How do I get my life and happiness back?

Help needed 😭 I’m resigning from my first legal job after four years. The firm has become extremely toxic, no raise in two years (not even cost of living) “due to COVID”, and I’m just not growing.

Any tips on resigning and not burning bridges? Should I be gathering all the partners to do it? TIA all 🤍

Hey folks, need your advice. I have a few watches of my own, I only try to stick to automatics & manuals with a few exception of quartz. I wear a watch everyday and told myself I’d stay away from Apple watches but with WFH, I need to track my health & wellness. Did any of you succumb and grabbed an Apple Watch as well or what’s the alternative. Or should I just go ham & do the dual wrist 😂
