Ambassador Marriott member, didn’t get targeted promotion. Anyone else feel neglected? I never get anything but the quarterly ones.

Anyone know of a fast track program for status on American Airlines or is it just the challenge you have to pay for?

I got a promotion a year and 3 months ago, and got a pay raise 5 months ago. Could I still ask for a promotion to SAE if I have been supporting a team more as one? Promotions are hard to stab with.

Hi everyone, I’m an architectural designer (from Europe) with 1.5 yrs experience. I’m working for a practice in San Francisco, full-time from the office, getting 25 an hour. It is so expensive to live here, I am struggling to make things work. Is this a normal salary for someone of my experience or should I ask for a raise? I don’t want to be greedy but it’s so expensive out here… Thank you 🌈

Engineers, have you ever regretted accepting a promotion to management? What should I consider before saying yes?

How can I expand my network to the VC world? I know hanging around Silicon Valley is a great start but I’m trying to find a more direct approach, willing to travel. Any thoughts?

Some construction work going on in the room next to me at 11pm central time here at the Westin! How many points is this worth?

Staying at a Hilton currently and have had tons of minor issues in the 3 days We’ve been here. Room wasn’t ready for 45min after check in time, AC did not work, maids did not clean room...continued

For the past month, while I'm booked for 45 hrs, I'm only getting work of around 2-3 hrs from the onshore.
Should I raise this issue and if yes, to whom?
(It's my 5th month at gds)

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?

What is the expected date for Promotion news in GDS Knowledge?

Flight prices are back up

When traveling for a conference or networking (not actual client work), what is the travel protocol? Business class? First class?

Hi Everyone,

In GS my current fixed is only 13LPA but got bonus of 3lk last yr on a prorated basis as i joined only last yr may.

Not sure if i can ask GS to match my offer from PayPal and im hesitant to switch. ( Note as per my recent conversations with my managers I'm up for promotion in dec)
Not sure to switch
Please advise on the same

YOE: 5.5yr

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

So. I've been a Clinical Research Associate for a little over two years making $25.50 an hour. But with my company's CRA shortage and the fact that they are working to the bone, I'm ready to ask for a raise. What percent should I shoot for?

EY raises and PBB so far have been in line with past few years. So much for the “this time it’s different” hype. Time to jump ships and get additional 15-20% raise

I got an offer from TCS of 8.13LPA for 4 yoe in automotive domain and accepted that offer. but my salary was revised from 6.2 to 7.74 LPA in appraisal at my current company, now if I compare it with tcs it is I am getting less than 10% raise in tcs . How should I approach to HR in tcs regarding this issue.

PS. I still need to put my paper. And first time switching company.

There is a certain air of respect you get when you become a military professional. As long as you earn that respect, of course. But I like it, it feels good!

First year (ug level hire) and got email from apple recruiter. Would love to exit to FAANG but not sure I'm ready to leave BCG in my first year but maybe after 2-4. What is best practice?

Anyone who interviewed with Chime / moved there , what’s your sense ? Good exit? How’s the WLB/ TC at a Program Manager level ?

Waiting to move forward an offer but having a 1:1 with my advisor next week. Do you drop hints that you’re unhappy/too busy/underpaid/can be swayed …? Or pretend all is well? Team is small and we’re pretty close so I don’t want to blindside with a resignation in 2 weeks after discussing goals the week before

If recruiter tells you that you barely passed but the team is willing to take a chance on you, can you still negotiate?

Anyone from ACN asked to take a week of vacation in June? I was asked to but the friends I checked with we’re not; afraid I’m being prepped to exit.

Do I have good approval odds for Chase Sapphire preferred? My credit scores are
TransUnion- 738

People at EY not use the corporate card? The expense system is horrible. But might not be worth using my Marriott card...

Do AA 500 mile upgrade awards expire? I have used a decent amount of upgrades, but I still have 14 that I have been sitting for a about maybe 6-7 months. I do not see anything about them expiring, but I would not be surprised if they do.

I am hoping someone can provide some insight so I don’t have to contact AA customer service :)

Why won’t AA let me book business class flights with points if they’re available to buy cash? (Qatar flight on AA site)

Ok. I am lowly platinum on AA. I am taking a redeye and have a choice of LA to Philly or Phoenix to Philly. Is there any way to check which specific flight would give the best chance for upgrade?

Booking flights for family on United and partner airline (Lufthansa). Should I put it on my chase sapphire preferred or United explorer card to maximize points? I’m not traveling with them if that matters..

FYI when redeeming AA points on flights, check out the first class miles saver option. Sometimes it is cheaper than the regular class option

Does anyone know where on the United website where I can see all my future PQMs, PQDs, and PQSs for the rest of the year?

Forgot my wallet back home, realized half to airport. Now going back. Great start to the week

If I use chase points to book a flight do I gain points from the airlines I’m flying?
