A friend didn't stay at a hotel we booked a month ago for various excuses (not reasons). Should I refund her her share of the room?

No. Also make her pay a no-show fee and gratuities.

No, unless something terrible happened in her personal life. If you do feel the need to refund her, find someone else to pay for the other half

Yeah then I wouldn't offer

So the whole thing was: we planned a weekend for a race 70 miles from where we live. She and I made all the plans and bookings. Her friends were supposed to come, but ended up planning to drive day of and not stay for after party. 2 of my friends came instead. So we should've been 4 to the room. In the meantime, my friend got back together with her boyfriend who lives in the town we were visiting. Friday she ended up working and wanted to be with her boo. Saturday she brought a bag to the hotel, but the beds were doubles not queens, so she just went to her boos.

I vote no. She checked in but didn't stay the night. Not your fault.

Lol depends on so many things. Just talk to her and tell her how you feel.

She hasn't asked for the refund.

If you had someone else take her place and they paid you, then refund her. Don't eat the cost yourself

Yes if you want to be friends

She didn't ask because she probably thinks of you as a friend

EY2, that's why I want to refund before she asks too.

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 currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
