Hi folks!

Currently interviewing with Mastercard data and services for the consultant role.
Wanted to enquire about the travel opportunities in this role, be it within India or outside. I personally enjoy travelling and have travelled quite a bit during my consultant stint previously. However, not sure of what the norm is within Mastercard.

Thanks!

Girl i work with slipped on the ice and got 250k marriott points + $1000 cash. What are your recommendations for slippriest shoes?

Anyone know why our miles didn’t carry over to the next year? Had 20k miles over Delta Platinum

Anyone got extra tickets to worlds or is going?

Alt travel to Alaska (Anchorage) this weekend! Anyone interested in joining?

Looking for a resort to use points at for a girls getaway. Limitation is no zika places so pretty much continental US or Bahamas. TIA!

Traveling to Montreal tomorrow, any recs for food / sights / etc.? 🙏

Does anyone travel with a roller? If so, what are your favorite travel friendly ones?

Has anyone flown United recently? If so, how was your experience?

Diamond medallion on Delta. They lost my bags on the outbound (3 with my wife who is Plat) and inbound flights (1) on a trip to Europe. How many points should I expect? Any advice to deal with this?

Random question for anyone who has ever exchanged/gotten a replacement away travel suitcase. Is there any flexibility to get a different color? My interior zipper broke and I stopped in a store to ask if they do repairs and they said to bring it in and they’ll just replace it. I wouldn’t hate switching the color but feel weird asking for some reason

Best credit card for travel?!? And, why? Never really used airport lounges.

I have the Marriott Bonvoy, SW rewards and CSP.

I need job portal in Dubai to apply for IT jobs. Also am traveling to dubai next week. I need ur comments.

Is taking the bus to work as convenient as taking the tube? Thinking of getting a place that by bus has a lesser commute than train but worried about traffic, frequency, etc. of the bus. Basically 20 mins bus vs 27 mins tube? Thanks!

Who here has jumped firms a lot? How many firms and what year are you? I'm worried about long term my resume looking like I'm a mega flight risk. I have solid reasons for each jump but just tired of jumping and worried. It's hard to find that long term firm.

Best US bachelor party locations? Nature trip where we can rent a sick Airbnb and be in the woods. Something like Asheville NC, but not Asheville.

What other cards to add to my collection? I have AmEx Platinum and Chase Sapphire Reserve. Fly Delta so AmEx is handy for lounges. Use Sapphire for dining/travel. Should I add Chase Freedom Unlimited?

What’s the A/S/L of Fs in here? Better yet, any Fs in the Charlotte/NC area in here?

What are the best consulting firms in the capital markets and/or investments world?

Has anyone here found success as a marketing consultant? I’m interested in one day becoming one and I’m curious what the timeline and type of experiences I should expect to go through before getting there.

Sometimes when I make a mistake at work I feel like I am not good enough for the job while other times I take it as “let’s do better next time.” Would love to find a balance between the two feelings.

NYC - Top entertainment accounting firm is looking to hire multiple staff tax accountants to their team. Most of the clients are in television and film - actors, producers, directors. Should have 1-3 years of busy season experience. Excellent culture, benefits and work/life balance. DM me for more info!

I made a couple errors at a new job. An important document to be distributed had wrong information on it, which was proofread by 2 other people. Then a couple of typos in emails, the person micromanaging me told me to send out but I didn’t fix the errors. Failed to meet a deadline but completed 95%. I was written up over all this last week, fired this week. There’s a lot more to this but I think it’s because the DM doesn’t like me.

Hi Guys,

Do Amex provide relocation expenses ?

Guys, I interviewed at amex gurgaon 10days ago and was told by VP that I will hear from HR very soon. But when I checked on HR yesterday, she said interviews are still in progress and it will take a week more to finalize.
I want to know do they take this long to close a position? This opening was posted on 30th Sep.. It's already been 1.5 months. This is when they said the position was urgent!! 🙄

If you met your retirement savings target, but still potentially have many years to work, what would you do? Take a lower stress job and coast, continue as is, continue to grow? Trajectory screams grow, stamina says coast. Curious on thoughts?

Hi Everyone,

Anyone coming tomorrow for Independence day celebrations at Pune Netcracker office?

Please ask more to join. Would like to get some more feedback from other Retirement Plan Consultants. For example:

What recordkeepers do you find to be easiest to work with and hardest to work with?

Took my first ever sick day today on account of my very poor and worsening mental health. Just could not bring myself to put in another 14 hour day with back to back meetings and constant activity. Felt very guilty but I honestly wish I could be more honest and actually share with my manager about why I took a day off.

For those also going through this, any tips on how you manage yourself day to day? What self talk tends to help?

I want to learn agent based modelling using python mesa, any good video tutorial available for self learning?

I already have the SHRM-SCP. . would it be a value add to go for the SPHR as well?

Yikes! Some days, I just can’t stand my job

Any book or podcast recos for introverts to work on their leadership?

Any utilization review nurses working at an insurance company able to share if your company requires work on weekend/holidays? If so, what work do you do on weekend/holidays snd do you work s full day on those days?

Whens the next nyc meetup?

Welcome all, glad you made it here. One thing I've noticed since relocating back to NYC is that there are few options for frequent industry socializing and networking. Lets change that!

Morning! Today 6pm onward, we'll aim to meet to the left of the inside bar at Mr. Purple (180 Orchard Street, Manhattan) on the 15th floor for the second bi-weekly Advertising Industry Happy Hour …

Good Morning! Today 6pm onward in the basement of The Flowershop (107 Eldridge St) all you NYC'ers to meet others in the city on the first bi-weekly basis through the Advertising Industry Happy Hour.

Last minute: canceled due to a private party being held. Sorry!!!
