Thought about going after Hyatt status after I hit SPG100 (160+ currently) for the year, they have some decent properties and a good promo going on right now

like

Hilton will status match immediately so I wouldn't bother doing it until you are forced to by project location

like

Only do Hilton if there's a really good property near your project. Otherwise definitely not worth it. More miss than hit in my opinion.

I was thinking that no business travelers would prefer Hilton and Hyatt after the Marriott merger. Must have been a significant hit to their business. Even the long term status holders would be motivated to move to Marriott.

Hyatt status is great. Free bottle of wine and food every checkin.

Hyatt is my favorite, but they just redid their program...for the worse. Not worth it at the moment in my opinion. The point of loyalty is ability to redeem for awards - and Marriott Starwood provides the best of that. Your personal business case would have to outweigh what makes sense for most.

How many points? Caribbean Marriott Cat 3 property, 5 nights. They have an issue with the boiler so no hot water and shower stops in between. Ice cold showers for 4 days in a row 🥶. Hotel phones don’t work because network is down and only local channels work on tv. Last night they had a huge leak in the lobby. They kept knocking stuff all night to fix it and then left a large floor fan running. I understand it’s tough reopening so don’t want to push, plus they upgraded our room at check in.

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs.

They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?

Is a white paper with a VC going to be attractive on my CV?

My current life situation has really brought my self esteem down and this quarantine makes it even worse. How do you lift yourself up when you feel low? I feel like I really want some validation that I’m attractive from someone but have never ever felt the need for it my whole life

Hi fishes,

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.
