Came back from mat leave, been aggressively networking to get a client role but no takers for a someone who can’t travel 100%. I’m willing to compromise n travel 50% but nothing! So much for inclusion

I’ll be in India for work for 3 months next year and then I’m taking 3 weeks of vacation to travel in Asia. I’ve never been. I have a friend in Shanghai so was planning to visit China if quarantine restrictions relax. I would like to do SE Asia in a different trip, but was thinking about Japan or South Korea? Very early in planning but would love to hear any recommendations or must-dos!

I’m sooo sick of Marriott from the Bonvoy situation. Anybody have luck transferring to Hilton or Hyatt, getting status match?

Will be in Los Angeles for leisure travel. What are some good restaurants you'd recommend? Also, what are some good brunch/lounge spots to hit.

Struggling with understanding of Delta really is the best for status and miles- everything seems so 'expensive' in points, and value is almost around 1.2 cpp.

My hub is ATL- am I wrong?

When a hotel says “Note that X does not participate in the Marriott Bonvoy program”, does it mean that there are zero perks of Ambassador Elite members at the hotel? Might as well book a non-Marriott?

I have a very expensive flight I have to buy to New Zealand and I’ve been monitoring prices for months now with no success. I have a chase sapphire reserve it and I will buy it with that, my major concern is the ticket availability and price is much better with third-party booking sites. I feel pretty constrained with the tickets with the airline directly are double the price, any advice or recommendations for buying with third parties?

Opinions needed! I relocated from NYC to Dallas and I am looking to reset my career from a physical therapist to doing homecare with focus on Pilates. My rate would depend on if I’m providing just Pilates classes or if it’s rehab specific. I wanted to know how comfortable you would feel about home visits? The main location would be in my house bc I have a Pilates reformer,but I would also be willing to travel to clients homes near the Turtlecreek area. Your feed back is very much appreciated!

How would you spend a rainy Saturday in Reykjavik?

Recos on Analytics Campaign Analysis PowerPoint templates for purchase? Specifically B2B

I've got Covid, and I'm concerned about my blood oxygen that I measure using my phone (S9). Most of the time it shows dangerous levels like 88%-92%. When I first saw it, I called an ambulance and their device showed 97% so they said there's no reason to worry and left, but my phone was also showing 97% once they left. Now I keep measuring it and most of the time it's too low and once in a while gets to normal. How accurate are these phone sensors? Should I be concerned?

How much time opentext takes to release offer letter? It has been a month now for me, they say it has been pending for approval and do not see any red flag.

I would love to get some opinions on LVP (“luxury vinyl planks”) as a flooring option. I have to redo my kitchen floor and I’m concerned they might not hold up too well, I don’t want to regret it when I go to sell my place in a few years.

If you weren't in consulting, what would you be doing? Did you have a "dream" career?

FWIW, I definitely do not work out much, and I can probably eat a little healthier too. Any changes that are “low hanging fruit” that will help a ton? I also work quite a bit, so hopefully a workout no more than 30 mins a day would be feasible. Thanks!

Does anyone know if I can move from a PwC firm in one country to another? Thanks in advance.

What is the biggest regret in your life

40 y/o, been in the biz for nearly 20 years, and have watched all my peers make partner. Am I kidding myself that I’ll ever make partner and is it even worth it at this age?

Wrong side of 40 (45 in 2022). Have the exp, education and certs but still way underpaid. So, I focus on other things while working barely 40 hours.

How do you guys stay busy? Love my children (wife’s ok, ha!), but need to develop on a personal level. Moved a lot, so not a lot of friends now. Don’t talk to family much.

Gym time is automatic. Stocks and options are in play. I am just having a hard navigating life right now, especially the weekends and weeknights. Feel like I am wasting away.

In my late 40's, due to mistakes and WLB decisions didn't save any money. Willing to work harder now, what are some career options to earn and save more in the next 15-20 years. A Tech Proj Mngr now

Anyone here thinking of moving into a completely different field at this age? Worth it from a job satisfaction perspective? Even if you go back to being the low end of the totem pole?

I often wish I could just escape this rat race and just live a simple life out in nature or countryside and not deal with all this shit. Others feel this way? What holds you back? For me, it's kids.

Those who have had heart attack. What were the signs, 4-5 days leading up to it?

School shooter threats at my kids’ high school today - the threat circulated on social media on Thursday and the police still haven’t resolved it (cont)

Curious if the hype for FAANG exit is as strong in here amongst some of us later in our careers. I’m good in my current role but I’m getting interest from recruiters.

Got a call from a former boss to join their boutique HNWI RIA. This was an industry I was interested in after my first career. Feel like there is limited growth in my current role. Should I leap?

How to keep kids occupied. Have 6 yr and 3 yrs old. They have ran out of all the play ideas. Any online home schooling apps for 1st grader to keep up with school . Any other ideas to keep them busy

Becoming painfully aware that my current career track is apparently dead just like at EY. How do you convert SME/SMR knowledge to sales? They just use me as 2-3 analyst FTEs.

Gripe here for my fellow consultants in our 40s. It’s that time of year when I grow tired of every newly minted manager with an ego. I get it. You bring a lot of value. But this attitude of “I’ve conquered the world” is exhausting. You’ve worked for like 6 years. Let’s just say I prefer my consultants aged a bit like wine instead of just-off-the-tap like beer. There is value from experience, that, while not everything, adds a lot that this generation ignores.

Sometimes I wonder what happened to basic manners. “Please. Thank you. You’re welcome. Excuse me.” Sadly, I appear to be a dinosaur. I continue to hope for civility!

If builder has already provided upgrades in house what are other areas to negotiate.What role broker play in negotiations. Mine asked me to negotiate 1st and later he will jump in. Is this how it work
