Quick question for my DTS travelers: if I don’t wanna take part of a flight back from a school that I’m attending, can I just push the flight in United without any repercussions? E.g., flying back from COS to DEN to IAH on 5/20 but I wanna stay in DEN … can I just push the DEN-IAH segment in United and not get on the plane then? Will that land me in trouble? Can I even mess with DTS flights on the United app?

Random, but valid/persistent thought.

After 2 years of a pandemic and working independently for many years, I am not feeling interviews AT ALL. There are points in the interview where I want to just say "Look! Either hire me or don't".

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?

I got an offer at Coinbase in HR/people success as a project manager. Curious what the work life balance and culture is like? I heard Coinbase works people really hard and WLB sucks… but im hoping maybe that’s less the case for non-SWE? How much does it depend on the team/manager? Thx

Who needs American Airlines system wide upgrades?

Looking for a Caribbean vacation recommendation for my husband and me. Want to go for around a week in early summer. We are active, not partiers, like boutique or small hotels or b&bs. Like being able to walk places. Like a more local experience versus touristy/resort-type places. I’d love somewhere that I can lay on a beach with a pina colada and also go hiking/explore nature or explore a local town so that we don’t get bored with so many days. Thank you!

London hotel help. Trying to decide between the Millennium Glouster St in Kensington vs. the Westin London city which is close by the Millennium walking bridge.

Curious if those who have done the tourist thing in London with kids have opinions. Thanks.
