American Platinum Pro vs United Platinum? Assume home airport is equivalent for both

hi fishes,

does anyone have the consulting corporate travel policy of their big 4 firm handy? can you please share? i want to switch from EY to others and looking for where I can be at more comfort with the extensive travel.

Looking for a Full-Time position!

Currently, work as a Project Coordinator for an Travel/Event tech-startup. Ideally remote or in Orlando, FL. I have experience in sales & marketing as well.

Interviewing at McKinsey and wanted to understand the reality of the travel expectations of a solution leader at the manager level. Thanks!

I have a third round interview this Thursday, but after I sent my availability, I booked a flight for work that is causing a problem. The interview ended up scheduled for 3:30-4:15, and I'm supposed to be on a 5pm flight out of LGA. Is there a reliably quiet place at LGA to do the interview (I don't have lounge access)? Would it be a bad idea to say my availability changed and I can't do that time slot anymore? Or should I cancel / rebook my flight to later at night?

I'm a light sleeper who cares too much about the people around me, but I've got a flight to London next Friday from 7pm NYC time to 7am UK time, and I'd really like to master sleeping on a plane just this once and not be in jet lag hell for the entire day after I land. I'll be in premium economy in an aisle seat. I usually take melatonin before bed and sleep on my side. Does anyone have suggestions for an OTC sleeping pill or pillow that actually works, or other advice for sleeping on a plane?

Wife and I want to do a quick trip to Orlando with our 3 year old. Just want to do magic kingdom for a day as i think that’s all we can handle. Recommendation a on Disney hotel vs say a Marriott? The price difference is huge and I know I can get a suite for free with my status at the Marriott.

Anyone have referrals for American Airlines?? Trying to crack into the airline industry. Also, more than happy to team up by sharing connections and networking. Lmk!

Ever since moving to hybrid work, my coworkers are always complaining about how much they hate their jobs, how much of a hassle it is to travel or work from home. How can you be expected to do your job when you're just so far away from everything?

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

Might have to leave the “all things points” bowl soon if these creepy ant/roach/bug posts continue. Making me so paranoid to stay in a hotel now smh

Best way to study for AWS cloud practitioner certification? (Not very technical but hoping to learn)

To the employees who take the "2 bag rule" too seriously: my wallet cross body is not going to take up anyone's over head space. Men have pockets, I need somewhere to put my phone.

Would you jump from Big 4 client facing consulting to internal MBB for relatively same pay?
