“But I meet the height requirement, right?”

Don’t worry after a couple of years consulting you may be young, but you won’t look it.

Just say “maybe you should ask Delta to add in an age requirement with the $ spend requirements “

How many miles to a diamond membership?

125

Yes. I just brush it off because it’s not worth my energy getting worked up over it. I just say thank you and move on.

Counter with: “thats cool but have you ever seen a diamond member as good looking as me 😎”

Nice flex..

I take it as a compliment! I’ve gotten asked multiple times in United Polaris if I was old enough to drink haha (I’m over 30)

My wife got a job that requires us to relocate to San Diego. We have never lived there and know little about the city. We are planning to rent. We stayed in a hotel in little Italy and really loved the vibe there, but it’s too expensive for us. Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations. How much should we reasonably budget to rent a 2bd/2bath?

New offer base salary: $90k
