Best time to pull the trigger if you haven’t already; DM if interested!

DM me and I will split the bonus 😉

Happy to do the same. For context, I get 30k points.

Can Amex points be converted to hotel or only to airline points?

Hilton and Marriott are transfer partners, and you can use MR to pay for bookings too at somewhere around 0.8 cents per point.

You can convert to cash at 0.8 cents per point as well with an Amex Checking account.

Anybody got a referral link they could share with me? Feel free to DM if better

Does anyone have experience working for a ALSP? How does compensation work (pay and benefits)? Are you an employee or technically an IC? Do you have billable requirements like at a firm? How do you think it prepared you to potentially move in house? I'm currently at a firm but thinking of taking a position with an ALSP but my goal is to go in house.

Hi Fishes, I am working as an IC in QA role with more than 15 years of experience, not getting good hikes and currently having 27.20 lakh INR, which I think its too low as per my experience range. Can some one suggest in QA role, if still chances are high to get good salary hike? Whats the best I can do and if anyone is aware of any suitable openings?
