Any thoughts on best SPG hotel in Houston for the weekend?

Do Starwood reservations eventually come over onto Marriott after you combine? Mine still haven’t...

Can we use airbnb for corporate travel? Just curious realky

We flew back from Ireland today on Delta. Our connecting flight from JFK at 6:10 was cancelled while we were flying over the Atlantic Ocean, and we were rebooked on a 3:40 instead (2.5 hours earlier) but not notified. I received no email, text or app notification of the flight cancellation or the new flight we were placed on, so we missed it. They now cannot get us home tonight and won’t even guarantee they can get us home tomorrow, impacting my work, (cont)…

Is there any way to travel or live internationally while working for the US government? I’m working in finance and accounting. Would love to know how and where.

I’m currently in internal audit and hate it. I got a job offer to joint another practice within my firm and the work itself sounds very appealing. The only major drawback is 80-100% travel. Thoughts?

If h1 client location LCA amendment is in progress, can I travel outside country for visa stamping?

Do you pay your credit cards in full every month?

I ask because I’ve let my credit spending get a bit lax since moving and adopting a puppy recently, so I haven’t been paying them off in full every month like I used to (though still well above the minimum payment, and keeping utilization at 30% or under). It got me thinking about how many people adhere to this advice.

Just had my discovery flight and I’ve been wanting to go for my PPL for a while, just not sure I can justify the 15k or so investment in my current financial situation. Would it be really bad to spread my lesson over a period of a few years?

Anyone know a way to get a cheap flight this coming festive period?

I screwed up. I’m a newb and didn’t know how mileages work and my gold status w AA is about to expire. I travel weekly and idk whether I should fly w/o status or pay $400 to extend it. Thoughts? 😭

I am sick of seeing these SPG Marriott posts!! Can we talk about something else for a change?

Has anyone taken a stealth vacation (i.e. went on a trip but didn’t officially take time off)? Did it work out?

Best small carry on? They keep shrinking the acceptable luggage size and half of the models out there don't qualify

Looks like I lost 12 nights and points / nights are not combined with Marriott yet

You can probably get some points. Be aware that American tends to have mor delays than Delta so switching won’t help. It’s also a much suckier airline in general. At least 60%of my AA flights are delayed in a year

Just booked flight to Hong Kong. Best SPG/Marriott to book on points? Trying to find proximity to good nightlife, restaurants, and public transportation. (Cont.)

Saw one post in Yammer USI Kolkata grp reg. Darjeeling trip during this long weekend.
Did the plan work out? If yes, photo bhejo bhailog. 🙂

Any good recommendations on cheap places to park cars at monthly rates? Do people keep them in the city or over in Jersey or LI?

Hey! Considering negotiating my pay after 1 year of CT experience. In Florida my base is $29/hr. How much of a raise should I ask for (if they don’t automatically give one)? And should I wait to be a travel tech with another year of experience?

Is $152k base for an associate a respectable salary?

Anyone who has transitioned from M&A work to finance work, how has your experience been? I am considering a similar transition and would love to learn about any changes to your work/life balance, stress-levels, etc.

All the wsb stocks are pretty badly hit in the after hour action. More speed to the retail investors tomorrow

The wife, baby and I are moving to Greenville SC in the spring.

Would love to hear anyone’s experiences about the city and where you’d suggest we start our house search!

Any chances to move from Europe to the States? How’s the visa situation? Are agencies sponsoring?

Best mentoring advice you were given?

Hi All-
Need a suggestion. H1 maxing out in sept 2021.
Got a job offer from small consulting firm (<200 people) and they are ready to file my GC from day1. About to resign in next couple of weeks once I receive my h1 approval.
But Deloitte sent a notification that they are restarting Perm process. Currently with Deloitte - nothing has been filed. They have the JD and all the documents from my side but haven’t filed pwd yet. Stay or move out .?

Can my spouse change her job while green card application is pending. I'm the primary applicant and both my I140 and I485 are pending.

She is currently working on an L2S which is also up for renewal. On similar terms, would her job change have any impact to her L2S renewal application, assuming it's applied and pending with USCIS by that time.

Do you think Marjorie Tayler Green is a grifter or does she just the Republican party now?

Why does it seem like most democrats are eager to hop aboard the liberal train over ONE agenda? It's like they feel very strongly about something, which is fine this is America and that's your right! But then they agree with EVERYTHING that's liberal or follows alongside their party line. These people NEVER have a good thing to say about anyone involved in politics who are conservative? I am a big Trump fan and even I can't do that.

After how many days of HR discussion I can expect the offer letter ?

Just installed UE5, add game developer to the list.

Starting IVF in a month - any guidance in prep for it, things that may help increase success for egg retrieval or anything like that? I started taking supplements advised by my doctor, but curious to hear of anything else! Thank you SO much!

Overseas on a study and finding a hot expat to help me with some in-room dining.. sometimes we get food. This job is alright sometimes

Anybody working here at CS from third party payroll?

Hi,
I am seeing Offer Extended in the portal against my application.
Does that mean approval by business if yet to be done but extended by HR or something else ?
And how long after this current status can I accept offer letter?
Thanks

I have not been brought up religious but I am beginning to think, I’d like to have faith in something. Doesn’t need to be dogmatic, but having a foundational belief in good things to come is probably essential and for someone like me who needs to work so hard to be happy, I wonder if being a part of a spiritual group can help. Does anyone have recommendations for what I can look into? I get there are many churches but has something helped you guys?

Just wanted to confirm if we have an option for buyouts during the NP,is it normally negotiable to 30 days,how does it work?

With Spring Break among us, amateur hour returns at the airports. And Summer is just around the corner. Happy fly day!

Recent Grad without any home office furniture. Need recommendations on desk, chair, 2nd monitor, anything to keep me productive at home.

Raise your hand if you are violently hungover

Best resources for business writing? Thanks!

Flight from Chicago to New York returned back half the way due to the weather!!! Usually shit like happens on Thursdays. Mother Nature is angry this year.

Accenture folks, seeing lots of news about layoffs at other firms here. Are we in the same situation?

If taking the subway to my home office isn't part of my normal commute, and the client I am on is outside the commute to my home office and requires it, am I entitled to expense my Metro Card?

Anyone care to share experiences of flying out of Stewart Airport in upstate NY? I'll be getting there from Manhattan.

On the bench for a week or so before start of new project. Do I take PTO or just bill GAA. Any advice on managing utilization?

Is it possible for someone to make a jump from Exp. Associate at PwC to Senior Consultant at other Big 4?

EY and Guidehouse federal fish, how does using PTO factor into your utilization score? Does it count against you like at Deloitte or do those hours get removed from the denominator before calculation?

CAIA vs CFA?

Best books to study for case-study interviews? Or methods people have used? Coming from the consulting industry already but not a pure strategy role so need to catch up to speed fast

Buying vs. renting a house - How do you decide when is good to buy? By renting I should pay 3-3.5K per months. I am married w/ no kids.

Definitely not a fan of Westin's "Eat Well" proposition. I'm working in the room at 2:00 AM and the most appetizing menu item is a cold turkey avocado and arugula wrap. I just want a burger and fries!

Client is trying hard to recruit me, any repercussions? I’m in California

Would you rather get upgraded on a Monday morning flight or Thursday evening flight?

Ratings on three projects - 3,2,2. Utilization - 90%... Proposal hours - 15... Firm activities - 43 hrs... I then get a YE rating of 4 😕 ... How worried I should be regarding the layoffs???

How is utilization calculated? What happens if we are on the bench?
